how did the storming of Bastille affect the French Revolution?

Question

Jacques Necker, Louis XVI, etc

Answer 1

the storming of the Bastille in 1789 ,generally was the first event in a series, no doubt the most important one ,imperative one in the sense that it gave the people the confidence that they lacked for centuries.It is neccesary that a scholar attempting to study this topic note that the french monach ruled and believed in the 'divine rights of kings' were absolutism was the order of the day,as such therefore the storming of the Bastille can be said to have exposed the army and the defence forces which for years had been feared and thought to be invisible.

Answer 2

If the French Revolution truly began with the Tennes Court Oath and the creation os the National Assemblly, it was the fall of the Bastille that ushered in a more "democratic" phase of the revolution. Meaning the rev. was moving out of the control of the Third Esate into the hands of the urban masses. This was the first time you truly saw the sans-cullotes (radicalized Parisian workers) and the rest of the mob flex their muscles.

Answer 3

The storming of the Bastille released the imprisoned, either those imprisoned falsely, or for poverty-related crimes. Symbolically it was a change in the control of Justice - from the small minority of the aristocracy to the majority of those below.
Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity.

Answer 4

Actually, the Bastille is not very big and when it was stormed the inmates were according to Wikipedia "At this point, the jail was nearly empty, with only seven inmates: four counterfeiters, two madmen, and a young aristocrat who had displeased his father."

It was very definitely more of a symbolic act rather than anything else.
