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

Answer and explanation

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

The governing historical concept is the conflict between revolutionary ideals and colonial economic interests. Although the French Revolution proclaimed liberty and equality, powerful merchants, shipowners, and plantation owners benefited from colonial slavery and the Atlantic trade. Their political influence and fear of economic loss made the National Assembly cautious, so it did not immediately pass a law abolishing slavery. Therefore, option A is correct. Option B is false because slavery still existed, option C is false because France possessed colonies, and option D is false because the king had not ended the slave trade. Economic pressure delayed the application of revolutionary principles.
