The Estates General was an assembly in France that represented the three estates. Church officials resided in the First Estate while making up 1% of the population and owning 10% of the land. Nobles resided in the Second Estate and made up 10% of the population and held jobs in government, military, and courts. Merchants, farmers, commoners, and more laborers resided in the Third Estate and made up 89% of the population. The Third Estate were the only ones paying taxes and rent, while the First and Second estate spent loads of money easily, making this system unfair. To fix this unfair system, all three estates prepared cashiers to bring notebooks to the Palace of Versailles that listed their issues; however, the score was always 2 against 1. The Third Estate broke away from the Estates General and formed the National Assembly, wanting representation by population, but the First and Second Estate did not like this because they would lose their money and status. When the Third Estate leaves and tries to come back the next morning, King Louis XVI locks the doors of the Palace of Versailles. The Third Estate does not give up and eventually finds an unlocked door that leads to the tennis court. They promise not to disband until a constitution for the free people has been written, also known as the Tennis Court Oath. King Louis XVI responded by arresting all of them.

Louis XVI decides to place military troops around the Palace in Versailles, which causes commoners to believe that they need to arm themselves. They stormed the Bastille to rise against the soldiers and succeeded in freeing political prisoners and gaining their own weapons. A few months later, women become angry over the price of bread, and a rumor spreads that the queen, Marie Antoinette, is hoarding all the wheat. After they march to the Palace of Versailles, their anger increases after seeing how the nobles were living a life of wealth while they were stuck in poverty. This was justifiable, considering that the wealthy could have donated and helped the commoners with their poverty, but instead, they were spoiled and only cared about themselves. However, they gave King Louis XVI another chance and attempted to give the legislative government a try, keeping the monarchy and the people happy. This system also fails by the king trying to overthrow. The people ended up beheading King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette months later. Robespierre led France into their third government, the First Republic, which was meant to support the people’s rights. He also led France into the Reign of Terror by pushing what he believed was necessary to create the Republic he envisioned.

The Directory, containing an upper and lower house, becomes the new government after the legislative government. The lower house proposed legislation for the government; the upper house had the ability to accept or veto what was proposed by the lower house. This meant that the upper house had more power than the lower house, making them struggle due to inequality. Napoleon was a military genius and graduated military academy at 16. He decides to stage a coup d’état to overthrow the Directory government. After Napoleon took charge, he made a lot of political changes, such as eliminating the Estates system, meaning the average person could gain more money and power. He also allows the freedom of religion, decreasing judgement and anger in the public. Napoleon’s downfall starts when the Coalition of European powers defeat him and exile him to Elba. He escapes for 100 days but is caught and exiled again, then dies due to drinking dirty water. Napoleon’s legacy is carried on by his family, since he installed them as the rulers of the countries he captured.
