The following passage from Baron de Montesquieu's The Spirit of the Laws was often quoted during the debates on the Constitution

of the United States in 1787. Use this passage to answer the following question: It is natural to a republic to have only a small territory, otherwise it cannot long subsist. In a large republic there are men of large fortunes, and consequently of less moderation…. In a large republic, the public good is sacrificed to a thousand views; it is subordinate to exceptions, and depends on accidents. In a small one, the interest of the public is easier perceived, better understood, and more within the reach of every citizen; abuses are of less extent, and of course are less protected. Public Domain Based on the passage, which aspect of government does Montesquieu fear most? (5 points) Select one: a. a government with clear separation of powers because its power to act is limited b. an elected representative government because it can easily perceive the needs of the public c. a government that replaces the need of many with the needs of a few d. a small republic because humans cannot be trusted to make personal sacrifices

The correct answer should be
<span>c. a government that replaces the need of many with the needs of a few

He states that in a large government only the few chosen ones can see what's happening everywhere and how it will affect them so they can manipulate it. In small governments, everyone can see what's happening so it's not easy to manipulate people because they all participate. </span>

exis [7]

Answer:

unequal distribution of wealth

divine right of the monarch was perceived to be too arbitrary.

corruption

increase in the tax

Explanation:

The French Revolution which lasted from 1787 to 1799 had several factors that contributed to its cause. One of the major causes was the unequal distribution of wealth between the bourgeois and poor people.

The divine right of the monarch was perceived to be too arbitrary. Intellectuals and enlightenment advocates started to criticize such right. In time, more people started to join the enlightenment movement.

The rise in corruption among the royal family and nobles and increase in the tax both contributed immensely to the cause. Apart from these causes, French involvement in the American Revolution, bankruptcy and economic failure all attributed to the rise of the revolution.
