Correct Answer: D
Solution :
The First Duma (1906) was not democratically elected; landowners and middle classes were in majority. Even so, it put forward demands such as: Confiscation of large estates, democratic electoral system, and right of the Duma to approve czar's ministers, right to strike and abolition of death penalty. The demands put forward by First Duma were too radical for Czar and he dispersed it within 10 weeks. The Second Duma (1907) also met the same fate. Nicholas decided to deprive peasants and urban workers of the vote.
