Question

Which of the following measures was NOT introduced by the French revolutionaries to create a sense of collective identity among French citizens?
(A) Adoption of a uniform system of weights and measures
(B) Composition of new hymns and commemoration of martyrs in the name of the nation
(C) Granting full political rights to women
(D) Abolition of internal customs duties and dues

Accepted Answer

## Model Answer **(C) Granting full political rights to women** Women were *excluded* from political rights during the French Revolution. The textbook states that only property-owning men could vote, while women and non-propertied men were denied political rights. Options A, B, and D were all explicitly introduced by French revolutionaries to foster collective identity. ## Explanation The passage in Section 1 clearly lists the measures French revolutionaries introduced: new hymns, commemoration of martyrs, abolition of internal customs duties, and a uniform system of weights and measures. Women were explicitly denied political rights — this is the "NOT introduced" option. Examiners expect you to identify the odd one out directly from textbook content.
