History

Read the paragraph from the section "The late Enlightenment and beyond: 1780-1815." The French Revolution of 1789 was the culmination of the High Enlightenment vision of throwing out the old authorities to remake society along rational lines, but it devolved into bloody terror that showed the limits of its own ideas and led, a decade later, to the rise of Napoleon. Still, its goal of egalitarianism attracted the admiration of the early feminist Mary Wollstonecraft and inspired both the Haitian war of independence and the radical racial inclusivism of Paraguay’s first post-independence government.

Which conclusion can be drawn from the above paragraph?

A) Haiti and Paraguay learned from the mistakes of the French Revolution to create successful, long-lasting governments.
B) While Enlightenment ideas inspired many important social changes, not all of them were ultimately successful.
C) Napoleon gained his power following the French Revolution by adopting ideas that were opposite of the Enlightenment's.
D) The early feminist Mary Wollstonecraft wrote extensively about the effects of Enlightenment ideas in France and Haiti.
