Question

by using force to end rebellions during the revolutions of 1848, what idea did european monarchs reinforce?
citizens could have little or no say in the government.
peaceful protests would be more effective than revolts.
revolts were both dangerous and unnecessary.
the monarchy should have more power, not less.

Explanation:

During the Revolutions of 1848, European monarchs used force to suppress rebellions. This action showed that they wanted to keep their power and not give citizens a say in government. Monarchs aimed to maintain their authority, so they would not support ideas that reduced their power (like citizens having a say or monarchy having less power). Peaceful protests being more effective was not the message they were reinforcing through using force. And while revolts were dangerous, the main idea reinforced was about citizen - government power dynamic.

Answer:

Citizens could have little or no say in the government.
