Charles Maurras,the founder of Action Française

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Charles Maurras valued the France of the Old Regime, meaning he believed in a return to traditional monarchy and the hierarchies of the pre-Revolution era. He was also a strong supporter of what he called "integral nationalism," which emphasized the importance of national identity and unity. Maurras rejected liberal democracy and the values of the Third Republic, so options A and B are incorrect. He also did not support the campaign to free Alfred Dreyfus, but was instead a proponent of the anti-Semitic and anti-Dreyfusard actions of the time, so option C is also incorrect. While Maurras was critical of the role of the Catholic Church in French society, he did not reject it entirely, so option E is incorrect.
