4 french revolution worksheet22
France in the late 18th century was divided into an unequal social hierarchy consisting of the First Estate (clergy), Second Estate (nobility), and Third Estate (everyone else). King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette were disliked due to lavish spending while the Third Estate faced heavy taxes. Growing social tensions erupted in the storming of the Bastille prison in 1789 and the transfer of the royal family to Paris, marking the beginning of the French Revolution. The National Assembly established a new constitution and declared rights of citizens, but internal conflicts and threats from other European nations led to a period of turmoil known as the Reign of Terror.

Causes of the French Revolution
The document summarizes key events in the lead up to and early stages of the French Revolution from the late 18th century to 1789. Long term causes included the high costs of the French monarchy and wars, an unfair tax system, and the spread of Enlightenment ideas. Short term causes were poor harvests, financial crisis, and influence from the American Revolution. The National Assembly was formed and took steps like the Tennis Court Oath and storming of the Bastille that challenged the traditional order. The Great Fear and August Decrees dismantled the feudal system and Church lands were nationalized.
The French Revolution
The French Revolution began in 1788 as King Louis XVI called the Estates-General due to France's bankrupt treasury. This led to conflict between the three estates of French society, and the formation of the National Assembly to represent citizens more equally. On July 14, 1789, the storming of the Bastille fortress by Parisians symbolized the people's growing discontent with the absolute monarchy. The Revolution then spread violence and turmoil across France as radical factions gained influence and instituted the Reign of Terror under Robespierre, sending thousands to the guillotine until his own execution in 1794. The monarchy was abolished, leaving France a democratic republic but still unstable amid conflict with other European nations.

As Enlightenment ideas spread and economic troubles grew, resentment toward the monarchy and inequality increased.

The document provides historical context about life in France under the Old Regime prior to the French Revolution. It describes how the system was structured around an absolute monarch and three estates, with the Third Estate (commoners) facing heavy taxation while having no political rights or say in government. Dissatisfaction grew as Enlightenment ideas spread and as the American Revolution inspired calls for more freedoms and representative government. Economic troubles further fueled unrest leading up to the start of the French Revolution.
French revolution begins honors 2013
Under the Old Regime system in France before the revolution, there was an absolute monarch (the King) and a three estate social structure that divided people based on their social class. The Third Estate, which comprised 98% of the population, paid the most taxes and had no political power or say in government. As Enlightenment ideas spread and as the people saw the success of the American Revolution, the bourgeoisie (educated citizens) of the Third Estate began demanding more rights and representation, driving the revolution. When Louis XVI called the Estates General in 1789 due to financial problems but refused the Third Estate's demand to vote based on population, it led the Third Estate to form the National Assembly and swear the Tennis Court

The French Revolution began as discontent grew among the lower classes, known as the Third Estate, over their lack of political and economic rights under the French monarchy. In 1789, the storming of the Bastille prison by Parisians marked the start of the Revolution. This led King Louis XVI to implement a constitutional monarchy that pleased few. Further unrest and his attempt to flee the country in 1791 turned public opinion against the king. Both Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette were later executed despite the king's weak rule, leaving France a republic opposed by foreign monarchies.

The French Revolution was sparked by political and economic problems under the absolute monarchy of King Louis XVI. France was deeply unequal with a system of estates that privileged the clergy and nobility over the majority Third Estate, who faced high taxes. When the king called the Estates-General to address a financial crisis, tensions erupted over issues of representation and taxation. This led the Third Estate forming the National Assembly and demanding democratic reforms and limits on royal power, marking the beginning of the Revolution in 1789.
The French Revolution2
The document discusses the key events of the French Revolution from 1789 to 1799. It describes the three estates system in France before the revolution and the inequality faced by the third estate.

The document summarizes the political and economic conditions in late 18th century France that led to the French Revolution. It describes the unequal system of estates where 97% of the population (the Third Estate) did most of the work but had little political power and paid most of the taxes.

French revolution
- 1. French Revolution Julia García Mosquera
- 2. Reasons In the 1700s, France was the cultural capital of Europe. King Louis XIV was the most powerful king in Europe; After his death in 1715, Louis XV and Louis XVI continued to rule France as absolute monarchs. Political and economic problems led to the French Revolution in 1789.
- 3. King Louis XVI Louis XVI became the heir to the throne and the last Bourbon king of France upon his father’s death in 1765. In 1770, he married Austrian archduchess Marie Antoinette. After a slew of governing missteps, Louis brought the French Revolution crashing down upong himself. In 1793 he was executed. He was introverted, shy and indecisive, a lover of solitary pleasures such as reading and metalwork.
- 4. Marie Antoniette In 1768, Louis XV dispatched a tutor to Austria to instruct his grandson's future wife. The tutor found Marie Antoinette "more intelligent than has been generally supposed," but added "she is rather lazy and extremely frivolous." Marie Antoinette was a child of only 14 years. In May 1770, she set out for France to be married. Louis XV died in 1774, and Louis-Auguste succeeded him to the French throne as Louis XVI, making Marie Antoinette, at 19 years old, queen of France. She was vivacious, outgoing and bold, a social girl who loved gambling, partying and extravagant fashions.
- 5. France’s unequal social hierarchy The clergy of the Roman Catholic Church made up the FIRST ESTATE. Rich nobles made up the SECOND ESTATE. 97% of the population and included poor peasants but also the well-educated middle class made up the THIRD ESTATE.
- 6. First Estate The first estate was made of less than 1% of the population in France. In The Income of Paid in Taxes they had to pay 2%.
- 7. Second Estate The Second Estate was made of 2% of the population in France. In the Income of Paid in Taxes they didn’t have to pay nothing (0%).
- 8. Third Estate The Third estate was made of 97% of the population in France. In the Income of Paid in Taxes they had to pay 50%.
- 10. Crisis By 1789, France was out of money and faced a serious financial crisis. Louis XVI called an emergency meeting of the Estates-General where members from all 3 classes could advise the king. During the Estates, the First and Second Estates voted to increase taxes on the Third Estate. The First and Second Estates decided to vote by order, 1 vote per estate, rather than by person. These decisions angered the members of the Third Estate who believed their rights were being violated.
- 11. National Assembly The Third Estate formed a new National Assembly to make laws for the French people. In 1789, the National Assembly swore to a Tennis Court Oath promising a new constitution and limitations on the king’s power.
- 12. National Assembly The National Assembly wrote their revolutionary ideals in the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen which said that men are born free and equal in rights. Rights include; liberty, property, security and resistance to oppression.
