Correct Answer - Option 4 : 2 November 1789: Nationalisation of the property of the church.

On the eve of the Revolution, the French state was on the verge of bankruptcy.

  • Repeated attempts at financial reform had floundered but the Revolution opened the way for a new approach that, from the beginning, involved the Church.
  • On 4 August 1789, when the remains of France’s feudal past were abolished in a night of sweeping reforms, the clergy agreed to give up the tithe and allow the state to take over its funding.
  • The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, adopted on 26 August, made no recognition of the special position of the Catholic Church.
  • With all authority located henceforth within the nation, the Church now found itself open – and vulnerable – to further reform.
  • On 2 November 1789, France’s new National Assembly, known as the Constituent Assembly, passed a decree that placed all Church property ‘at the disposition of the nation’.
  • Talleyrand, the bishop of Autun and one of the few clerics to support the measure, argued that all Church property rightfully belonged to the nation and that its return, by helping to bring about a better society, should therefore be viewed as a ‘religious act’.

Thus, we can say that option 4 is correctly matched.

  • 11 July 1789: Dismissal of Necker
  • 5 May 1789: Estates General assembles
  • 20 June 1789: Adoption of the title of "National Assembly" by the Third Estate
