Summary "How the French Revolution Began"

Basically the monarchy was controlling what was going on incllluding beliefs and ideas, in think it got to a point where the people werent too happy with it and decided were going to fight back. Also estates where also creating laws that people did agree with and even claiming land.


 * 3 Estats system aka "The Old Regime"**

The first estate has preist and bishops nuns and monks while the second estate had nobles whom are born in to it remember nobles arent nessasarily rich. They dont work all of thier money was coming from taxes. The 3rd estate doesnt nessasarily equal poor becaus these class of people were working as business owneres and ect. Basically the 1st and 2nd estates are living on the 3rd estates taxes, which means they wont be heard on the fair taxes because they dont want to give up thier money coming in


 * The king set up the general estate and he did it in such a way where the 3rd estates wouldnt be heard on anything because to the 1st and 2nd estate in meant nothing
 * The poor people in the 3rd estate were starving but the rich people in the estate seen the opportunity and brought up there supporters and wanted to kind of overthrough the 1st & 2nd estate you have your opportunist and your revengers
 * The one thing that the 3rd estate has that the 1st & 2nd estate doesnt have is the numbers

Summary of How the French Revolution started: Well there was alot of discrimination going on between the first two estates and the third estate the richer individuals whom were part of the third estate were tired of not being giiven power considering that alot of them where more weathy than some of the nobels. They seen the opportunity when all of the poor people were starving and in need of food tired and anger and rallied then up and basically fought against the upper estates and thats the more concise way of expressing the beginning.
