Why was the legitimacy of the Old Regime questioned?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: क्योंकि वह असमान अधिकारों और जन्म-आधारित विशेषाधिकारों पर टिकी थी
Under the Old Regime, the clergy and nobility enjoyed privileges by birth, while most members of the Third Estate bore taxes and had limited rights. Enlightenment ideas made such birth-based inequality appear unjust, so the regime's legitimacy was questioned. Option D is incorrect because the estate system was not abolished by the Old Regime; it was a central feature of it. Exam tip: Link the legitimacy crisis with inequality, privilege, and Enlightenment ideas.
