Question

explain any 3 measures or practices which created a sense of collective identity amongst the french people ?

Answer 1

Dear Student,

The three measures that created a sense of collective identity amongst the French people were as follows:

• The ideas of la patrie (the fatherland) and le citoyen (the citizen) emphasised the notion of a united community enjoying equal rights under a constitution.
• A new French flag, the tricolour, was chosen to replace the former royal standard.
• Regional dialects were discouraged and French, as it was spoken and written in Paris, became the common language of the nation.
