The French Revolution (24-25)

One of the goals of the great powers at the Congress of Vienna was to

• keep any one country from dominating Europe.

• force the idea of conservatism on Europe.

• pursue the philosophy of liberalism by creating a Bill of Rights.

• build up a continental army to keep Napoleon from gaining power again.

Many Catholics did not support the French Revolution because it

• used violence to achieve its aims.

• did not grant women full equality.

• excluded clergy from leadership positions.

• brought the Church under the control of the state.

Which of the following conditions caused the collapse of Napoleon's Grand Empire?

• France's strong economy

• laziness within his bureaucracy

• the drain of Napoleon's many wars

• the spread of liberalism

Because it could not govern effectively after the Reign of Terror, the Directory had to

• agree to share power with the clergy.

• turn to the bourgeoisie for protection.

• rely upon the military to enforce its authority.

• abolish slavery in the French colonies.

During most of the French Revolution (1789–1799), Napoleon was

• negotiating with the Catholic Church.

• codifying the French laws.

• studying in a military school.

• serving in the French military.

Promotion within Napoleon's new bureaucracy was

• given only to those Napoleon favored.

• based on ability rather than rank or birth.

One economic cause of the French Revolution was an increase in prices, which

• led to an equivalent increase in wages among the nobility.

• left people with the inability to purchase essential goods, such as food.
