Question

Prior to 1800, the French were a scattered collection of groups that spoke different languages, celebrated different holidays and festivals, and practiced different religions.
Development and a national language united them as French rather than as Gascons, Burgundians, and Parisians, which has resulted in what kind of social structure?

a) ethnic state
b) imagined community
c) citizen coalition
d) nation-state

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is d)

Explanation:

A nation state is a state in which the people share the same culture or are aware that there is a common culture. In the case of the french, they reorganized the Gascons, Burgundians and Parisian into one people because they had a similar culture and they could all identify under the French banner. As a consequence of this unification a nation state was formed.
