• A. Aristocracy
• B. Limited monarchy
• C. Unlimited monarchy
• D. Democracy

Hint:

In 1787, the French monarchy was under pressure due to economic crises and a growing call for reform, which culminated in the French Revolution.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

In 1787, France was under a limited monarchy. King Louis XVI ruled as the monarch, but the political power was increasingly limited by the Estates-General, particularly as financial and social issues led to growing unrest. This system of government was moving toward a constitutional monarchy, but full reforms would not occur until the French Revolution in 1789, when the monarchy would be abolished entirely.
