Question

based on the document, which of these best describes the cause of the french revolution?
a corruption found within the catholic church in france
b the growing bourgeoisies demand for political influence and equality
c the monarchy had lost the faith of the people after the seven years war
d the industrialization of france led to a disenfranchised group of factory workers

Explanation:

The French Revolution was influenced by the Enlightenment ideas. The growing bourgeoisie, with economic power but lacking political rights, demanded political influence and equality. This was a significant cause. Option A (corruption in the Catholic Church) was more relevant to the Protestant Reformation. Option C (monarchy losing faith after Seven Years' War) is not the main cause. Option D (industrialization leading to disenfranchised factory workers) is incorrect as the French Revolution occurred before significant industrialization in France.

Answer:

B. The growing bourgeoisie's demand for political influence and equality
