Detailed Solution

During the French Revolution, chains were used to fetter the enslaved people as a mark to attract people to the protest. In addition, various symbols were printed to communicate ideas to the people. For example, the sign of a broken chain depicted the act of becoming free. Slavery was a significant feature of society at this point. Therefore the symbol of the broken chain was used to promote the idea of liberation of the enslaved people. Hence Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
