How should the National Assembly's silence on slavery be understood?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: As hesitation between commercial interests and revolutionary ideals

The governing concept is the contradiction between universal revolutionary ideals and colonial economic interests. The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen spoke of liberty and equality, yet French merchants and plantation owners benefited from colonial slavery and the trade in sugar and coffee. Because these groups had influence, the National Assembly hesitated instead of immediately applying revolutionary principles to enslaved people. Therefore, option A is correct: the silence reflected political caution and tension, not freedom. Option B reverses the meaning of silence, while option C is factually wrong because France possessed colonies. Option D confuses the Assembly's revolutionary period with Napoleon's later policy.
