the adoption of the Civil Constitution of the Clergy was a significant event during the French Revolution because: It gave citizens the right to elect priests and bishops.

Before the constitution, Clergy was under the control of the monarch but they're not part of the government officials. After the revolution, the government control no longer held by the monarch, so the people could put the members of the clergy as government officials.
