How did collective identity spread in franch |
|
Answer» The French REVOLUTIONARIES TOOK many IMPORTANT steps to CREATE a sense of collective identity among the French people which were: Ideas of la patrie (the fatherland) and le citoyen (the citizen) emphasising the notion of a united community enjoying equal rights under a constitution. A new French flag, a tricolour replaced the royal standard. The Estates General was renamed the National Assembly and was elected by a group of active citizens. New hymns, oaths and martyrs commemorated in the name of the nation. A central administrative system made uniform LAWS for the entire nation. Discouraging regional dialects and promoting French as a common language of the nation. |
