Question

what did french aristocrats do in an effort to keep their privileges?
○ they put more power in the hands of the king.
○ they declared war on the king.
○ they left the catholic church.
○ they organized an elected parliament.

Explanation:

French aristocrats (the Second Estate) maintained their tax and social privileges by supporting a strong monarchy, as royal authority helped suppress challenges to their status. Declaring war on the king, leaving the Church, or creating an elected parliament would have undermined, not preserved, their elite position.

Answer:

A. They put more power in the hands of the king.
