Which difference between the positions of the National Assembly and National Convention is most accurate?

Correct answer: The National Assembly hesitated while the National Convention abolished slavery in 1794

The governing concept is the changing revolutionary position on slavery. During the early Revolution, the National Assembly proclaimed rights but hesitated to apply them fully in the colonies because colonial plantation wealth and commercial interests were powerful. In 1794, the National Convention took a more radical step and abolished slavery in French colonies. This decision did not end the story permanently, because Napoleon later restored slavery in several colonies, and final abolition came in 1848. Option A is therefore the best answer. B confuses the National Assembly with the later 1848 decree; C reverses the Convention's action; D is too broad and inaccurate.
