what does censorship mean in the french revolution?
Answers
Answer:
France has a long history of governmental censorship, particularly in the 16th to 18th centuries, but today freedom of press is guaranteed by the French Constitution and instances of governmental censorship are limited. There was strong governmental control over radio and television during the 1950s-70s.
Answer:
An organisation that controls the content depicted by the informative organisations like radios, T. V., press, etc. is called as censor board.
Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, on the basis that these information are in case objectionable, sensitive or harmful.
During the French Revolution, censorship laws were placed in order to restrict the public communication and the increasing ideas of liberalism. But later on it was abolished. During the Napoleon's reign , the censorship laws were present but at very minimal pace. But the conservative regime, that was set up in 1815 due to Treaty of Vienna, were very autocratic in nature. They did not tolerate criticism and sought to curb protests and movements. They imposed censorship on what was said to restrict the flow of ideas of French revolution.
