The correct answer is A) Increased free speech led to changes in popular opinion. During the French Revolution of 1848, this period of time touched on the Enlightenment Age where people such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Voltaire were prominent and who were two philosophers who wrote many texts about the equality of citizens. This was very close to home for the French citizens who were leading miserable lives due to the expenses the French monarchy (an extremely tiny percent of the population vs. the 97 percent population of the proletariat) who were spending unabashedly, while the majority of French people barely had anything to eat.
<u>Broad Context:</u> The "Big Picture" is that the US is trying to annex the Republic of Texas as part of their states, and that Texas already <em>shared many common traits </em>(why? part) with the US, and should join as a state of their choosing, (which means slave or free) (How? part).
<u>Other Context:<em> </em></u><em> </em>The adding of Texas into the US (eventually as a slave state) offsetted the balance between the slaves and free states, and so California (gained after the Mexican-American War) was turned into a free state. Texas was the cause of the Texas Revolution & later on the (already named) Mexican-American War. The adding of Texas, and later the Gadsen Purchase, help create today's US southern border that is shared with Mexico.
