The document summarizes the key events of the French Revolution in six steps: 1. The meeting of the Estates General resulted in the formation of the National Assembly and the beginning of the revolution in a relatively democratic manner without violence. 2. The National Assembly formed a new constitution, though it only granted rights to certain groups and excluded women and non-property owners. 3. The storming of the Bastille marked increased violence as the revolutionaries seized the fortress jail. The Catholic Church also lost power and land.
