Question

Read the source and answer the following questions:

The first clear expression of nationalism came with the French Revolution in 1789. France, as you

would remember, was a full-fledged territorial state in 1789 under the rule of an absolute monarch.

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.From the very beginning, the French revolutionaries introduced various measures and practices that

could create a sense of collective identity amongst the French people. The ideas of la patrie (the

fatherland) and le citoyen (the citizen) emphasised the notion of a united community enjoying equal

rights under a constitution. A new French flag, the tricolour, was chosen to replace the former royal

standard. The Estates General was elected by a body of active citizens and renamed the National

Assembly. New hymns were composed, oaths taken and martyrs commemorated, all in the name of

the nation. A centralised administrative system was put in place and commemorated, all in the name

of the nation. A centralised administrative system was put in place and it formulated uniform laws

for all citizens within its territory. Internal customs duties and dues were abolished and a uniform

system of weights and measures was adopted. Regional dialects were discouraged and French, as it

was spoken and written in Paris, became the common language of the nation.
