Why can France becoming a republic be seen as an extension of the events of 1789?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The challenge to royal power began in 1789 and monarchy ended in 1792
The governing concept is historical continuity: major political transformations often develop through connected stages rather than appearing suddenly. In 1789 the calling of the Estates-General, the formation of the National Assembly, the fall of the Bastille and the Declaration of Rights challenged absolute royal authority and established popular sovereignty as a political principle. Continuing conflict, war, the king’s suspected disloyalty and popular pressure then led to the suspension and abolition of monarchy in 1792. Option A is correct because it connects the initial challenge with the later republican outcome. The other options deny or reverse well-established developments.
