Why could the National Assembly not immediately make a strict law on slavery?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it feared opposition from merchants and plantation owners

The governing concept is the conflict between revolutionary ideals and colonial economic interests. The National Assembly discussed equality and liberty, but many merchants and plantation owners benefited from slave labour and colonial trade. They feared that immediate abolition would damage plantations, exports, shipping profits, and France’s commercial position. Therefore, economic pressure and resistance from these powerful groups prevented the Assembly from passing a strict abolition law at once. Option A is correct because it identifies this opposition. Option B is false because slavery still existed; C is false because France possessed Caribbean colonies; and D confuses a prison with a political obstacle.
