'Liberalism' as a developed ideology was a product of :

  • A.Breakdown of feudalism
  • B.Weakened monarchy
  • C.Weakened Church
  • D.Growing industrialization

Answer: A

As a developed ideology, liberalism was a product of the breakdown of feudalism.

Liberal ideas took shape as the feudal order of fixed ranks, inherited status and absolute rule gave way to a market society in which individuals could own property, trade and choose their occupation. Liberalism expressed the outlook of the rising middle classes in that transition, from the English revolutions of the seventeenth century onwards.

A weakened monarchy and a weakened Church were parts of that larger change rather than its cause. Growing industrialization came later and shaped nineteenth-century classical liberalism, but the ideology already existed by then.
