The French revolutionaries revolted in order to replace the existing political order.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The French Revolution represented an attempt to construct a democratic nation-state. Instead of the strictly-defined class structure of the feudal and post-feudal society, middle-class citizen society should arise; instead of the absolute monarchy, the sovereignty of the people.

Detailed explanation-2: -The last of the three revolutions, the 1848 February Revolution, booted out the hitherto restored monarchy and initiated a period known as the Second Republic, but it wasn’t long before political instability returned to France yet again.

Detailed explanation-3: -A centralised administrative system was put in place and it formulated uniform laws for all citizens within its territory. Hence, Statement 3 is correct. Internal customs duties and dues were abolished and a uniform system of weights and measures was adopted.

Detailed explanation-4: -Continuing unrest culminated in the Storming of the Bastille on 14 July, which led to a series of radical measures by the Assembly, including the abolition of feudalism, the imposition of state control over the Catholic Church in France, and extension of the right to vote.
