The first clear expression of nationalism came with the French Revolution in 1789. France was a full-fledged
territorial state in 1789 under the rule of an absolute monarch. The political and constitutional changes that
came in the wake of the French Revolution led to the transfer of sovereignty from the monarchy to a body of
French citizens. The revolution proclaimed that it was the people who would henceforth constitute the nation
and shape its destiny. From the very beginning, the French revolutionaries introduced various measures and
practices that could create a sense of collective identity amongst the French people. The ideas of La Patrie and
Le Citoyen emphasised the notion of a united community enjoying equal rights under a constitution. A new
French flag, the tricolour, was chosen to replace the former royal standard. The Estates-General was elected by
the body of active citizens and renamed the National Assembly. New hymns were composed, oaths taken and
martyrs commemorated, all in the name of the nation. A centralized administrative system was put in place
and it formulated uniform laws for all citizens within its territory. Internal customs duties and dues were
abolished and a uniform system of weights and measures was adopted. Regional dialects were discouraged and
French became the common language of the nation.
