The French Revolution (Blog #15)




The causes of the French Revolution surround two main areas of interest. Those two areas include social and economic inequalities in the Old Regime.

Your Assignment:

1). Name the three social classes present in France during the late 18th and early 19th century.
2). Explain what groups of people made up each of these classes.
3). State reasons why the classes, and the discord among some, helped lead to the French Revolution.

Due: By Sunday 12/5/10 no later than 11:59p.m.

  4. 1.) There were the Privileged Estates (2). Then 97% of the people belonged to the Third Estate, which included a lot of peasants.

    2.)Privileged Estate - Clergy of The Roman Catholic Church, and rich nobles

    The Third Estate - Bourgeoisie, bankers, factory owners, merchants, professionals, and skilled artisans, and peasants who formed 80% of the third estate.

    3.)There was a growing resentment among the lower classes. They were eager for change because they had to pay taxes on basics such as salt. They also paid dues to nobles, tithes to the church, and taxes to the king's agents.

  5. 1. First, Second, and Third Estates.
    2. First Estate was made of clergys of Roman Catholic Chruch.
    Second Estate was made of rich nobles. Also Third was made of bourgeroisie, urban lower class, and peasant farmers.
    3. The classes helped start the French Revolution by the government treatign them different and spoiling one class and treating others unfairly. Also, new ideas about government, serious economic problems, and weak and indecisive leadership all helped generate a desire for change. The best way they could think of how to do this was to start a revolution.

  10. 1.First Estate, Second Estate, Third Estate.
    2. First: Clergy, Second: Rich Nobles, THird: Lower Class Peoples.
    3. The lower classes were angry because that had been abused and wanted their rights. THe Nobles felt angry towards the Clergy because now that science had proven several religious things lies. Since the clergy had not any power any more, they wanted it. Thus the revolution begins and utter chaos.

  14. 1) There was the first, second, ant third estates.
    2) First: Roman Catholic Church
    Second: rich nobles
    Third: middle class workers and and peasants
    3) The lower classes were treated poorly by the higher classes. The third estate was tired of being overtaxed and told what to do even if they had money. They were poor and struggling for food. This caused them to be bitter and revolt. Also, the spread of the Enlightenment ideas helped start the French Revolution.
