Key Points

  • French Revolution 1789
    • In 1789 France was the most populated nation in Europe and had been growing in wealth and prestige since the time of Louis XIV.
    • Despite this economic growth, it was still a very backward nation socially and politically: socially, because it was still divided into feudal classes of people (clergy–those who pray, nobles–those who fight, and the peasants–those who work); politically, because they were still ruled by an absolute monarch who believed in the divine right of kings.
    • The first clear expression of nationalism came with the French Revolution in 1789.
    • The political and constitutional changes that came in the wake of the French Revolution led to the transfer of sovereignty from the monarchy to a body of French citizens.
    • The revolution proclaimed that it was the people who would henceforth constitute the nation and shape its destiny. Hence, Statement 1 is correct and Statement 2 is not correct.
    • A centralised administrative system was put in place and it formulated uniform laws for all citizens within its territory. Hence, Statement 3 is correct.
    • Internal customs duties and dues were abolished and a uniform system of weights and measures was adopted. Hence, Statement 4 is not correct.
    • Regional dialects were discouraged and French, as it was spoken and written in Paris, became the common language of the nation.

Public opinion may be passive and false or active and real. It is claimed in theory that all governments are ultimately based on the opinion or sanction of the governed. But we find that in practice the people's rights are often trodden down and tyranny and oppression are allowed to continue. The government does it not because the people want it to do so but because they are too idle, too uneducated and too disunited or timid to oppose the govern ment. Such public opinion is passive and false and not an active verdict. But when we find people alert, intelligent and determined to let the government know their will, when they want to exercise actively their voice in the management of their country, we have an instance of true or active public opinion. True public opinion is formed by and expressed through the press, the platform, political parties and educational institutions. These have sacred duties to perform, duties on which depends the ultimate good of the entire community. The press today wields a tremendous influence, So it should support the causes and move ments and condemn the wrong one's and thus teach people to form correct opinion. A free and fair press ventilates the grievances of the public. Thus a healthy relationship develops between the people and the government through out an unbiased press. Political parties also help to create and regulate opinions. No less important part is played by the educational Institutions which train the minds of the young people who will be the citizens of tomorrow. It has been said that modern Germany and China have been made by their universities. It is necessary that the young and the growing minds should imbibe the spirit of fellow-feeling, the spirit of tolerance, the habit of compromise, and show due regard for the feelings and opinion of others without which a democratic society cannot function, let alone succeed. When there is true awakening of the people, we shall have the real and conscious public opinion. And justice will reign on earth and truly will the voice of the people be the voice of God.
