napoleon declares himself emperor of france.
which pair of sentences best completes the diagram showing the course of the french revolution?
a. (1) france implements the napoleonic code. (2) the national constituent assembly produces the declaration of the rights of man and of the citizen.
b. (1) the national constituent assembly proposes a new constitution. (2) french leaders end the reign of terror and condemn its leaders.
c. (1) napoleon bonaparte disbands the directory to form the consulate. (2) france invades territories in italy, switzerland, and the netherlands.

Explanation:

The Reign of Terror, where Louis XVI and many others were executed, came after the National Constituent Assembly's activities and preceded the end of the Reign of Terror. After the Reign of Terror ended, Napoleon eventually declared himself emperor. Option B correctly places events in chronological order related to the French Revolution. Option A has the Napoleonic Code and Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen in the wrong order relative to the events in the diagram. Option C has Napoleon - related events that do not fit the sequence before his declaration as emperor.

Answer:

B. (1) The National Constituent Assembly proposes a new constitution. (2) French leaders end the Reign of Terror and condemn its leaders.
