The short lived Corsican Republic was a uniquely progressive nation at its 1755 founding for deciding to grant full voting rights to all adult citizens.
(A) at its 1755 founding for deciding to grant : Incorrect : The sentence as is conveys a non - sensical meaning that the Corsican Republic was uniquely progressive at its founding
(B) for the decision at its 1755 founding to grant : Corrects : Conveys the intended meaning
(C) when it was founded in 1755 for its decision to grant : : Incorrect : Corsican Republic cannot be a uniquely progressive nation when it was founded for something it does in its 1755th founding anniversary : Non-sensical
(D) by deciding at its founding in 1755 on the granting of : : Incorrect : " founding in 1755 " conveys incorrect meaning
(E) in deciding at its founding in 1755 to grant : : Incorrect : Corsican Republic was not founded in 1755 . Rather it was in its 1755th founding that the decision was made.
IMO B is correct

Option A and Option C : 'for it's decision to grant' should be near the 'uniquely progressive nation', since otherwise the meaning alters and seems as if the nation was founded only for the decision to be made.
Option D : 'uniquely progressive nation by deciding' is wrong since it emphasizes on the decision making related to full voting rights and since the decision was taken, the country should be progressive. The emphasis should have been on the decision to GRANT full voting rights.
Option E : 'uniquely progressive nation in deciding' is wrong since the event occurred in the past and the usage of 'decision' in this scenario seems to be more appropriate.
Option B is the correct answer.

The short lived Corsican Republic was a uniquely progressive nation at its 1755 founding for deciding to grant full voting rights to all adult citizens.
Meaning: Corsican Republic(CR) was uniquely progressive because it [took some action] granted voting rights to all adults since its founding in 1755
(A) at its 1755 founding for deciding to grant - Meaning issue - CR was already progressive at its founding before taking action
(B) for the decision at its 1755 founding to grant - Meaning issue - Makes it seem CR was existing for a prior time but took action on 1755 founding
(C) when it was founded in 1755 for its decision to grant - Same issue as Option A
(D) by deciding at its founding in 1755 "on the granting of" - Wordy way of expressing "to grant"
(E) in deciding at its founding in 1755 to grant - Correct Meaning
