What message did the republic give through the execution of the king?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Even the king is not above nation and law

The execution of Louis XVI communicated that the king could be judged by the nation and its laws. Under the older doctrine of divine right, the monarch was presented as holding authority from God and standing above ordinary political accountability. The republic rejected that principle by treating the king as responsible for political crimes, including treason, and by applying a public legal decision to him.

The execution therefore symbolised a major change in the source of legitimacy. Sovereignty was connected to the nation and the law, not to an untouchable hereditary ruler. It did not establish unlimited divine authority, make the Church the final court, or restore noble privileges. Option A is correct because it expresses the republican claim that even a king is not above the nation and its laws.
