The goal of the first phase of the French Revolution, as embodied in the Declaration of the Rights of Man, was which of the following?
  1. To address the British threat
  2. To eradicate foreign influence
  3. To redistribute wealth
  4. To create a constitutional monarchy
  5. To execute the king
Explanation
Answer: D - In the first stage of the Revolution, the goal was to create a constitutional monarchy. Although the Revolution would become far more radical, and the king would ultimately be executed, the initial objective was to keep the structures of government in place but make them more democratic. Both the Tennis Court Oath and the Declaration of the Rights of Man were designed to advance this purpose.
