Detailed Solution

The ideas of la Patrie (the fatherland) and le citoyen (the citizen), a new French flag, new hymns and oaths were some of the steps taken by French revolutionaries to create a feeling of collective identity among the French people.
The French Revolution of 1789 introduced the idea of a distinct expression of nationalism or collective identity to France. French revolutionaries created a number of policies and practices that asserted that only the people of a country can choose its course and that a nation is made up of its people.

This idea was emphasised by the concepts of la Patrie "the fatherland" and le citoyen "the citizen."

A new French flag, the tricolour, was chosen to replace the former royal flag.

Under a centralised administrative structure, uniform laws were created for all its residents.

The National Assembly was the new name for the assembly that elected the Estates-General.

In the name of the country, new hymns were written, oaths were taken, and sacrifices of martyrs were remembered.
