How did economic crisis turn into political crisis at the outbreak of the Revolution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The tax crisis intensified demands for representation and rights
The governing concept is the conversion of material hardship into a struggle over political authority. France’s government faced debt and a serious shortage of revenue, while the tax system protected privileged estates and placed heavy burdens on common people. Attempts to raise money required wider consent, so the king called the Estates-General. Once representatives assembled, the Third Estate connected the fiscal problem with unequal voting, privilege and the absence of national representation. Rising bread prices and shortages then brought ordinary people into the movement. Hence option A is correct; B invents a transfer of power, C contradicts social reality, and D did not occur.
