Answer: The correct answer is C. 1%

Step-by-step explanation:

In France, in early 1848 about one percent of the population voted because only landholders were permitted to vote, which left out the lower-class bourgeoisie and the industrial bourgeoisie from the government. As a result, they stormed the palace of Tuileries, took out the guards, held the king hostage, and later imprisoned the royal family. After deposing king Louis Philippe, they voted Napoleon III into power as the president of the second republic of France.
