Why did the National Assembly avoid making an immediate law on slavery?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it feared angering traders and plantation owners

The governing concept is the conflict between revolutionary ideals and colonial economic interests. The French Revolution declared liberty and equality as universal principles, but slavery and the slave trade generated substantial profits for merchants, port cities, and plantation owners in the French colonies. The National Assembly therefore hesitated to pass an immediate abolition law because powerful commercial groups could oppose it and threaten colonial revenue. Option B is correct because it identifies this pressure. Option A is false: slavery existed in French colonies. Option C is chronologically wrong, since Napoleon restored slavery after the 1794 abolition, and option D wrongly assumes that enslaved people possessed political rights.
