Assertion(A): From the very beginning, the French revolutionaries introduced various measures and practices like the idea of la Patrie and le citoyen.

Reason(R): This was done to create a sense of collective identity amongst the French people.

During the French Revolution, the French revolutionaries used many policies and procedures, such as the idea of la Patrie(the Fatherland) and le citoyen(the citizen), to promote a sense of public ownership among the French people. It suggested that, constitutionally, French citizens should have equal rights and obligations, and this created a feeling of common humanity among the people. The French Revolution proclaimed that the people would build a nation and define its destiny from that time on. One of the methods used to provide uniform rules for all citizens was the central administrative structure. The Estate General was renamed the National Assembly after being chosen by an assembly of active citizens. In the name of the country, oaths were taken, and brand new hymns were written. Regional dialects were discouraged, and French, as it was spoken and written in Paris, became the official language of the country. Thus, both the Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation for the Assertion.
