Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

D. more democratic.

France during the 19th century underwent significant political changes and transitions. It experienced periods of monarchy, revolution, empire, and multiple republics. While it did have periods of instability, it also made strides toward democracy during this time, especially during the Third Republic (1870-1940), which was marked by increased democratic and republican institutions.
