b. citizens should have guaranteed rights and equality
c. the government should be elected by the people
d. all of the above

Explanation:

1. The French Revolution's slogan "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity" was about uniting common people (the Third Estate) against monarchy. The Third Estate was oppressed, and the revolution aimed to create a new republic. Option A is about Napoleon's later conquests, not the revolution's initial goals. Option C: the three estates (clergy - First, nobility - Second, commoners - Third) had conflicting interests; the revolution was led by the Third Estate against the other two. Option D is unrelated to the revolution's core goals.
2. Economic factors: Option D (price of bread and taxes) is economic. Option A is a political - voting right issue. Option B is a legal - accountability issue. Option C is a military threat, not economic.
3. The "Declaration of Rights of Man and of the Citizen" proposed rights and equality for citizens (B). It also undermined the privileges of royalty, clergy, and aristocracy (A) as those privileges were against equality. And the idea of government by the people (C) is in line with the principles of liberty and equality. So all options A, B, C are correct, meaning D (All of the above) is the answer.

Answer:

1. B. To unite common people in establishing a new republic to replace monarchy
2. D. The price of bread and increasing taxes was burdening most of the population of France
3. D. All of the above
