Option 2 : Monarchy

The correct answer is Monarchy.
  • The French Revolution was a period of radical political and societal change in France that began with the Estates-General of 1789 and ended with the formation of the French Consulate in November 1799.
  • Many of its ideas are considered fundamental principles of liberal democracy.

  1. A monarchy is a form of government in which a person, the monarch, is head of state for life or until abdication.
  2. The political legitimacy and authority of the monarch may vary from restricted and largely symbolic, to fully autocratic, and can expand across the domains of the executive, legislative, and judicial. 
  3. France before 1789 was an absolute monarchy ruled by the Bourbons. This meant that the authority of the French Crown was not limited by any representative body, such as an elected parliament.
  4. The King was responsible only to God and answerable to no one on Earth. This system of government is also known as absolutism.

Hence, The French revolution led to the end of the Monarchy.
