Where is the clash between slavery and the ideal of liberty seen most clearly?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Owners' control over slaves' will, labour and life

The governing concept is the contradiction between universal liberty and the institution of slavery. Liberty means that a person should possess control over personal decisions, labour, movement and life. Under slavery, however, owners claimed legal and economic authority over enslaved people, treated their labour as property and often used coercion to maintain production. Therefore, option A directly shows the clash: revolutionary language spoke of freedom, while plantation society denied it to enslaved workers. Options B, C and D are not suitable because participation in the National Assembly, equal wages and ownership of plantations were generally excluded by the structure of slavery; they describe rights that enslaved people were denied rather than the contradiction itself.
