• B. the revolution achieved its goal of establishing peace, democracy and justice for all
• C. the revolution had little impact outside France

Answer 1

The correct option is D the French middle class gained more power

• French revolution's vital outcome had been that the political power shifted to the third tier of the society as the top two tiers lost their significance.

• France was under turmoil for a longer period after the French revolution started in 1789.

• Slogans like Justice and Liberty have spread across the world and have helped in decolonization of several third world countries later.

• The church and clergy were not able to regain their power and control like prior to 1789.
