Question

How was the adoption of the Civil Constitution of the Clergy a significant event during the French Revolution?

Answer 1

The correct answer is D) it gave citizens the right to elect priest and bishops.

The adoption of the Civil Constitution of the Clergy was a significant event during the French Revolution because it gave citizens the right to elect priest and bishops.

The Civil Constitution of the Clergy made the Catholic church in France to be subordinated to the government. It was passed on July 12, 1790. The Constitution ended with monastic orders. It also stated that the Pope had no authority in France. With the new Constitution, bishops and priest had the opportunity to be elected.

Answer 2

Priests and bishops became elected and paid officials. Going off that, the French Revolution also ended papal authority over the French church. I'd go with the fourth option, "It gave citizens the right to elect priests and bishops." I hope this helped! :)
