Answer 2

The Tennis Court Oath Was there a fourth estate? Louis XVI actually had a part in the early design of the guillotine Why were so many of the peasants of Paris executed? Did the revolution lead to the lessening of the power of the clergy and if so how? Could it have been prevented and how? What were some of the excesses that led to the revolution?

Answer 3

The French Revolution (1789–1799) was a period of political and social upheaval in the political history of France and Europe as a whole, during which the French governmental structure, previously an absolute monarchy with feudal privileges for the aristocracy and Catholic clergy, underwent radical change to forms based on Enlightenment principles of democracy, citizenship, and inalienable rights. These changes were accompanied by violent turmoil, including executions and repression during the Reign of Terror, and warfare involving every other major European power.

Over the next 75 years, France would be governed, variously, as a republic, a dictatorship, a constitutional monarchy, and an empire.

Answer 4

1. The main instigators who started the Revolution eventually became its victims and also lost their heads
2. Marie Antoinette and husband Louis XVI were not to blame. It was Louis XIV and his spending on foreign wars and the Palace at Versailles.
3. The French were inspired by the American Revolution.

Is this your homework?

Answer 5

1. American rabble-rouser Thomas Paine went to participate - and wound up jailed for his efforts.

2. The Guillotine was invented by a doctor who wanted to help create a more humane method of execution.

3. The Paris police department was broken up into dozens of neighborhood units with no central command and little interaction between units, so a criminal could go on a spree from precnict-to-precinct with little fear of authorities noticing the spree (unless newspapers caught wind, or someone influential was harmed).

Answer 6

It was led by the peasants who revolted against a nobility who had practically enslaved them for years.

It resulted in one of the greatest bloodbaths in history with the reign of terror and the use of the guillotine.

In effect, it destroyed the nobility and the monarchy in France.
