Labor unions became more effective in France after 1864 for which of the following reasons?
  1. France finally had an industrial base.
  2. Socialism failed, making unions more attractive.
  3. The Chapelier Law was repealed.
  4. Political stability was finally achieved under Napoleon III.
  5. The working class got the vote.
Explanation
Answer: C - The repeal of the Chapelier Law, which banned the formation of trade unions, greatly facilitated their growth. This law, which dated back to the French Revolution, had hindered the emergence of unions, which partially explains the agitation of the French working class. Labor reform moved more slowly in France than England because of the lack of organized means for political expression.
