The correct statements are A and C.

A --- Athens used force to keep city-states from withdrawing from the league: Athens chose Pericles as its leader. Pericles began his government by ending a policy of conquest. He made Athens the first and most important Greek city and achieved a total hegemony over the other cities of the Delian League, which were transformed from allied cities into subjugated cities. It was the beginning of an Empire submitted to Athens, who was the one who directed the army, the navy and diplomacy and who also wanted to establish their own political regime in the cities. In 454 BC, frightened by the failure of the expedition sent to Egypt, it was ordered to move the treasure of the League to the city of Athens, where it would be safer. All these facts, together with the increase in taxes required for the maintenance of the war, caused the cities of the League to revolt and begin to feel enemies of Athens, which also imposed their currency, their weight system and even the form of government.

C --- The purpose of the League was to keep Persia from conquering Greece: This organization was a maritime military alliance, created and controlled in the beginning by the Athenian statesman Aristides (who wrote the statutes and put it in motion), in 477 BC, at the end of the Greco-Persian Wars, in order to be able to defend against possible and new attacks by the Persians.

Before the French Revolution, French society was structured in three estates: the clergy, the nobility and the third estate, which was composed by the commoners, peasants, and merchants. A member of the bourgeoisie during this time, in the 18th century, was a rich person from the third estate, often merchants and artisans. Normally, in spite of their wealth, they were excluded from the political decisions and had no privileges, since the power was in the hands of the nobility. Thus, the bourgeoisie was the social progressive class that supported a constitutional government and natural right, as opposed to the Law of Privilege and rule by divine right claimed by the nobles and clergy.

Nobles, on the other hand, formed the second estate according to a feudal social stratification. They were benefited by this social configuration based on, what they believed was, a divine right to rule. Therefore, a noble at this period was an aristocrat related to the royalty and the Church and had the highest status in the French and European society. They normally owned large extensions of land and had many peasants at their service, they were the only ones to have the privilege of hunting and were exempt of paying direct land taxes that commoners landowners were obliged to pay.

The social order of pre-Revolutionary France was composed of three states: the 1st state was made up of clergymen, the 2nd state included all the nobility, and the 3rd state was formed by the rest of the population of France, including the peasantry, the bourgeoisie, and the city workers.

The experiences of the nobility and the bourgeoisie were very different during this period. The nobiity included around 1-2% of the population of the country. They were mostly exempt from taxes and for the most part, did not have a job. On the other hand, the bourgeoisie was a large percentage of the population, and carried a significant tax burden. This class was the most educated and wealthiest part of the 3rd State, and they resented the privileges of the nobles, in particular the tax exemptions. The conflict between these classes was a reason for the French Revolution.
