    Bishops amount was reduced

    The church was allied with the French monarchical government since the French Revolution was a target on the status social and political order (absolutism government with still remains of feudalism - - dark ages order - - non-secularism government) So note that if secularism and complete take down of the fuelaism system will destroy all the church's powers in politics.

    Unusually in world history this revolt or revolution did not primary happen because of economic reasons; it was started by the bourgeoisie or the french middle class because they hated being rich as the nobility but had no social or political power in the current system.

    The french middle class were the population that was active in the Enlightenment readings leading to conceiving ideas of de-christianization and secularization, but peasants were not or had little activity in the readings, so they were still big followers in the church and government model together as one. This is why de-christianization became very controversy and it did cause counter-revolutionist against the new french republic which is for another day ...

    So knowing this all this of how the enlightened and french middle class tore down the church and knowing that women were excluded from the political meetings during the french revolution despite their participation in the rioting.

    Women attempted to gain power in this opportunity, but did not succeed till Napoleon years. So we can say it is A.
