question 2 of 10
which of the following situations is most similar to the french revolution?
a. a king makes gradual changes to transition his country toward democracy.
b. a military leader takes control over a countrys government and launches a series of wars.
c. a group of poor citizens attacks a state legislature and establishes its own government.
d. a religious leader promotes laws that are based on his religions sacred texts.

Explanation:

The French Revolution was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It involved the common people (especially the poor) rising up against the existing monarchy and aristocratic - dominated government. Option C, where a group of poor citizens attacks a state legislature and establishes its own government, is similar in the sense of a lower - class group taking power through revolutionary means.
Option A is about a king making gradual changes (not a revolution). Option B is about a military leader (not a popular uprising like in the French Revolution). Option D is about a religious leader (not a mass - based revolutionary action of the common people).

Answer:

C. A group of poor citizens attacks a state legislature and establishes its own government.
