Dissatisfaction in French society was not merely emotional because it included what?

Tax injustice social inequality and representation problem

The governing concept is that revolutionary discontent had concrete structural causes. Many people objected to unequal taxation, feudal obligations, food insecurity, and the privileges of the clergy and nobility. Educated groups also criticized the lack of equal citizenship and meaningful representation. These economic and political grievances interacted: a population that paid heavily had limited influence, while privileged groups enjoyed status and exemptions. Option A is correct because it brings together the major dimensions of dissatisfaction—tax injustice, social inequality, and representation. Options B, C, and D reduce a serious crisis to cultural preferences and therefore cannot explain the scale or persistence of revolutionary anger.
