Which political change had already happened before the execution of Louis XVI?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: France had become a republic
The correct answer is A, France had become a republic. The National Convention abolished the monarchy and declared France a republic on 21 September 1792. Louis XVI was subsequently executed on 21 January 1793, so the establishment of the Republic preceded his execution. This is a chronology question: first came the fall of the monarchy and the declaration of the Republic, then the trial and execution of the king. The Bastille had existed long before the Revolution, so its construction is not the relevant political change. Napoleon became emperor only in 1804, after Louis XVI’s death. The Estates-General had been called in 1789, not 1614; the 1614 meeting was a much earlier historical event.
