What action by the French revolutionary Assembly deprived the poor and women of full equality?
Catholic churches, monasteries, and convents were shut down. Priests were required to swear an oath of allegiance to the state. Only "active citizens" were allowed to vote, not "passive citizens." The aristocracy was abolished, and many aristocrats were killed.

The following passage is Article 6 of the Declaration of the Rights of Man, approved by the National Assembly of France, August 26, 1789. Use the passage to answer the following question: Liberty consists in the freedom to do everything which injures no one else; hence the exercise of the natural rights of each man has no limits except those which assure to the other members of the society the enjoyment of the same rights. These limits can only be determined by law. Public Domain How would English Enlightenment philosopher John Locke feel about the article?
He would disapprove of it because it calls for limited individual freedom. He would approve of it because it appeals to the idea of natural law. He would approve of it because it proves the theory of the social contract. He would disapprove of it because it implies that humans are naturally bad.
Only "active citizens" were allowed to vote, not "passive citizens."
