Why did the Bolsheviks dissolve the Constituent Assembly after the October Revolution?

Correct answer: Because the Assembly did not accept Bolshevik measures

The governing concept is the conflict between representative institutions and the Bolsheviks’ attempt to establish revolutionary rule. Elections to the Constituent Assembly did not give the Bolsheviks the majority they expected, and the Assembly did not endorse all of their decrees or their claim to exclusive political authority. The Bolsheviks therefore used force to dissolve it in January 1918, making option A correct. Option B is incorrect because the Tsar’s imprisonment was not the reason for dissolution. Options C and D describe policies or events associated with the revolutionary period, not the Assembly’s opposition that led to its closure.
