Print culture helped trigger the French Revolution (1789) by:
AReducing King Louis XVI's tax revenue to dangerous levels
BAllowing the Church to organise pro-monarchy demonstrations
CSpreading the Bastille's exact floor plans to the rebels
DSpreading Enlightenment ideas (Voltaire, Rousseau) to ordinary readers
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Spreading Enlightenment ideas (Voltaire, Rousseau) to ordinary readers
By 1789, Enlightenment philosophers (Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot) had been widely read through cheap pamphlets and newspapers. Ordinary Parisians became political actors through this print-fueled public opinion. The Revolution erupted from this culture.
