General KnowledgeStatic General Awareness
- A1789 : Napoleonic Code
- B1791 : Tennis Court Oath
- C1792 : National Convention
- D1804 : New Constitution of France
Explanation
The National Convention — the revolutionary assembly that governed France after the monarchy's fall — first met in September 1792, so '1792: National Convention' is the correctly matched pair. The Tennis Court Oath was sworn in 1789, not 1791. The Napoleonic Code was promulgated in 1804, not 1789. And 1804 is remembered for Napoleon's coronation as Emperor, not for a 'New Constitution'. Only the National Convention pairing is correct.
