What was one main reason why the National Assembly did not make a law on slavery for a long time?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Fear of opposition from trading and plantation interests

The governing concept is the conflict between revolutionary principles and colonial economic interests. The language of liberty and equality created pressure to challenge slavery, but merchants, ship owners and plantation owners gained substantial wealth from the slave trade and forced labour. Their influence made deputies cautious, so the National Assembly delayed a clear abolition law. Option A is correct. Option B is factually false, option C ignores the legal condition of enslaved people, and option D contradicts the historical delay and confuses the Estates General with the later National Assembly.
