The correct answer is option (d). National Assembly proclaimed a Constitutional Monarchy, granted suffrage to all adult males above 18, and guaranteed the right to work.

• During the French Revolution, in 1791, the French National Assembly proclaimed a Constitutional Monarchy.
• Indirect voting was used to elect the Legislative Assembly, and only around two-thirds of adult men who paid the minimum amount in taxes were eligible to cast a ballot.
• The other three choices are all instances of things that happened in 1848.
• From 1830 to 1848, Louis Philippe ruled France as king before being forced to leave his country.
• The worsening economic circumstances that developed after the start of the French Revolution in 1848 had an impact on this.
• These economic situations led to food shortages and unemployment in France, which brought the people of Paris out on the roads for a protest against Louis Philippe.
• Following the Revolution of 1848, the French Second Republic established National Workshops for the Unemployed as a means of resolving these issues.
