The National Assembly's immediate silence or delay on slavery shows which deeper pressure?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Pressure of economic interests of merchants and plantation owners

The National Assembly’s hesitation over slavery reveals the pressure exerted by merchants, colonial interests and plantation owners whose wealth depended on overseas trade and enslaved labour. The French Revolution proclaimed ideals such as liberty and equality, yet applying those principles to the colonies threatened powerful economic networks. Silence or delay therefore shows a conflict between universal revolutionary language and material interests tied to colonial profit. Option A is correct because it identifies the economic pressure behind the political hesitation. The other options are not supported: enslaved people did not possess complete political power, the closure of women’s clubs concerned another issue, and soldiers at the Bastille do not explain the Assembly’s colonial policy. The broader lesson is that revolutionary institutions could be constrained by interests they economically benefited from.
