Solution
The correct options are
C Sovereignty
D Republic
A lot of the credit for the rise of European nationalism goes to the French Revolution of 1789. The immediate result of the Revolution was the establishment of a 'republic' in place of the existing monarchy. A republic is a state in which power is held by the people and their elected representatives, instead of a King or Emperor. The second idea that emerged was that of 'sovereignty'. This meant that the nation recognized no power higher than its laws.
Even when Napoleon became the Emperor, he called himself the 'Emperor of the French Republic'. This was because the idea of people's sovereignty remained extremely important.
