listen
the national assemblys _______ marked the beginning of the french revolution.
a) passage of the constitution of 1791
b) drafting of the declaration of the rights of man and the citizen
c) tennis court oath
d) execution of louis xvi

Explanation:

• Question 36: The 1791 Constitution in France classified citizens as active (could vote) if they paid a certain amount of taxes (the "active citizen" status was tied to a property - tax qualification), and passive if they did not meet this tax requirement.
• Question 37: The Tennis Court Oath (June 20, 1789) was a vow by the members of the Third Estate (who later became the National Assembly) not to disband until they had given France a constitution. This is widely regarded as a significant early event marking the start of the French Revolution. The Constitution of 1791 (a) was a later development, the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen (b) was a statement of principles in 1789 but not the start - event in the same sense as the Tennis Court Oath, and the execution of Louis XVI (d) was in 1793, much later in the revolutionary process.

Answer:

• Question 36: B. who paid a certain amount of taxes and thus could vote.
• Question 37: C. Tennis Court Oath
