Why was the removal of censorship after the Revolution not merely a legal change in everyday life?

Correct answer: Because it changed how people read, wrote and discussed

The governing concept is that freedom from censorship changes social communication, not only the wording of a law. When restrictions on printing and discussion were reduced, people could encounter political arguments more openly, read competing views, write commentary and debate public matters. This affected habits of reading, writing, conversation and participation in public life. Option A is correct because it explains this practical, everyday consequence. Option B is contrary to the revolutionary challenge to traditional royal authority. Option C describes a feudal economic burden rather than a communication change, and option D reverses the likely effect: a freer press encouraged publication instead of permanently closing newspapers. The key link is legal freedom leading to cultural and communicative change.
