Which fact corrects the view that the French Revolution was limited to the Estates General?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Popular actions included the Bastille attack, rural revolts and the march to Versailles
The Estates General was important, but the Revolution was also carried forward by people in cities and villages. The storming of the Bastille, peasant uprisings and the women’s march to Versailles show that popular action shaped events beyond the assembly. Option A is therefore correct. The other choices are false: the Estates General did meet, the Third Estate had representatives, and the king did not immediately proclaim a republic.
