Answer 2

Men above the age of 25 who had property rights, paid taxes, and voted were not considered passive citizens

Explanation:

• During the French Revolution, the division between passive and active citizens was established. This was created to make governing easier and to meet the needs of revolutionaries.
• Active citizens were defined as men above the age of 25 who voted. Only men who paid taxes were included in this group. They needed to speak French, be read, and have lived in France for at least a year.
• Passive citizens were women, children, and men who did not own property, had little education, and did not pay taxes. These persons were unable to vote because they lacked employment and were protected by the government.
