The law abolishing slavery in 1794 was linked with which institution?

Correct answer: National Convention

The direct answer is option A: the National Convention. In 1794, during the French Revolution, the National Convention passed the decree associated with abolishing slavery in the French colonies. Step 1: note the year, 1794. Step 2: identify the revolutionary law-making body active at that time. Step 3: select the National Convention. Option A is correct. Option B, the King’s Council, belonged to the monarchical system and was not the institution identified with this revolutionary abolition decree. Option C, Bastille administration, was not a national legislative body; the Bastille was chiefly known as a fortress and prison. Option D, “Convent assembly,” is a different word and does not name the French revolutionary institution called the Convention. Do not confuse “Convention” with “convent”: a convention is an assembly, while a convent is a religious community or building. Memory cue: 1794 + French Revolution + abolition = National Convention.
