National Assembly of France

worthwhile to die for. It shows the negative light of the Ancien Regime and the need for changes in the way France is governed. This led to newfound freedom, whereas in source A, the people were constricted by the burden and the corrupt system of the estates. Furthermore, the violent uprising from the storming of the Bastille had frightened the king out of any plans to crush the National Assembly. Therefore, this consequently lead to the storming of the Bastille evolving into a more violent and…

night. Harry was intrigued and asked her to show him how to do it. After learning he went to the tour bus and decided it would be cool to dream that he was in the French revolutionary war. So he placed himself in the year 1788. All the people in France were divided into three social groups better known as estates. The first estate consisted of the pope and bishops (the clergy). The second estates had in it the wealth landowners and the nobles. The third estate had the rest of the people like…

France is one of the European countries that has a democratic government. In other words, it means that France is ruled by a Constitution that they created “based on the 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen“ (“Consitutional Limits..”). This country is different than other countries because it has both a President and a prime minister who run the country (“The France Political..”).

many catalyst that sparked the revolution but I will only discuss a few. The economic situation in France in 1774 specifically when Louis XVI ascended to the throne. The financial woes of the new king was not entirely all of his but instead a national debt that rose from financing wars, such as the Seven Year War and the American Revolution, and maintaining the military. The main reason why France was struggling with its debt is because it did not have an adequate system specifically a taxation…

The two privileged estates could easily destroy any protest from the third. The third estate felt cheated by this system, and wanted more representation in the government. They decided to form the National Assembly, a new government, and create a new constitution. The National Assembly adopted The Declaration of the Rights of Man in 1789. The Declaration opposed the structure of the Old Regime, stating that “the aim of all political association is to preserve the natural and unalienable rights…

France has a long history of problems, wars, and conflict that have led the country through many regimes including: monarch, empress, republics. To start off I will discuss the French Monarchy and how the end of the Monarch was a direct result of the French revolution. During the 18th century the French government, or King Louis XVI, tried to raise taxes as a direct result of war and court life costs. The French citizens did not like this and thus they revolted which leads to the French…

significant roles in their absolute monarchy. For 150 years the 13 colonial states of America enjoyed their independence from their mother country. The French and Indian war changed things, France and England went to war, fighting over territories in America. It was not until the year 1763, when the…

economic, social, and political changes that the impoverished masses in France so desired. Famine, disease, and poverty swept through pre-revolutionary France. These factors entwined with the despot political system inflamed a decade long revolution and catapulted France from a feudal society into a dominant world force. The storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789 marked the beginning of radical changes for the country of France the same way the Massachusetts’ “shot heard around the world” on…

Revolution was not worth it. The deaths were of many people who were innocent, as they were not involved in the revolution. France became obsessed with violence, as this became their main focus. Concluding the revolution, the deaths did not benefit the outcome of France. The French Revolution was a war that lasted 10 years, it was caused by the middle class(national assembly), trying to overthrow the monarchy so they would be freed from poverty and starvation. During the Revolution, many of…
