Q.

Read the source and answer the following question.

The first clear expression of nationalism came with the French Revolution in 1789. France, as you would remember, was a full-fledged territorial statute in 1789 under the rule of an absolute monarch. The political and constitutional changes that came in the wake of the French Revolution led to the transfer of sovereignty from the monarchy to a body of French citizens. The revolution proclaimed that it was the people who henceforth constituted the nation and shaped its destiny. From the very beginning, the French revolutionaries introduced various measures and practices that could create a sense of collective identity amongst the French people. The ideas of la Patrie (the fatherland) and le citoyen (citizen) emphasized the notion of a united community enjoying equal rights under a constitution. A new French flag, the tricolor, was chosen to replace the former royal standard. The Estates-General was elected by the body of active citizens and renamed the National Assembly. New hymns were composed, oaths taken and martyrs commemorated, all in the name of the nation. A centralized administrative system was put in place and it formulated uniform laws for all citizens within its territory. Internal customs duties and dues were abolished and a uniform system of weights and measures was adopted. Regional dialects were discouraged and French, as it was spoken and written in Paris, became the common language of the nation

Which of the following statements correctly defines the idea of ‘la patrie’ and ‘le citoyen’?

Detailed Solution

United community enjoying equal rights and Rights protected by the Constitution defines the idea of ‘la Patrie’ and ‘le Citoyen.’
La Patrie (the fatherland) and le Citoyen (the citizen) emphasized a united community with equal rights under a constitution. This gave the French people the idea of collective identity, where the Constitution protected their rights. The tricolor, a new French flag, replaced the former royal standard. The Estates-General was renamed the National Assembly and elected by a group of concerned individuals. The new hymns, oaths, and martyrs were commemorated as well. A centralized administrative system established uniform laws for the entire country.
