The French revolution contributed to growth of democracy tremendously, it didn’t just lead for example, but it was the start to ending monarchy and aristocracy. The French revolution didn’t really create a democracy, but it made baby steps and set ideas out for others to follow. Those ideas from the enlightenment thinkers are used and set forth to this day, they set up the future for us today. As for nationalism and how the French revolution  contributed to it was even better. The French revolution made people realize that they seem to do everything for the king, well with democracy it brought the divides parts of france together and made them see themselves as "citizens" who serve their nation proudly. This alone made the country united, and changed the country from then on. When France united together, they once again led by example in Europe and influenced surrounding countries to do the same.

The Legislative Assembly existed from October 1st, 1791 to September 20th, 1792, During the French Revolution. This Assembly was created by the New Constitution, and relies on the Paris commune (government of France), because of the power it gave them to continue as a legislature. The Sans Culottes were the lower class people at this time. They played an important role in this Assembly because their population helped rank the forces and policies of the legislation.

The National Convention governed France from September 20, 1792, until October 26, 1795. It also consisted of 749 members, mostly of men over the age of 25 and professional men. The National Convention governed France from 1792 to 1795 and established the Republic after abolishing the monarchy that governed France, during the most critical period of the French Revolution. In 1792, the National Convention split into two factions.Therefore dividing the convention into the Mountains and the Girondins. The Mountains who wanted the former king executed after his arrest. Then, there were the Girondins, who wanted the former king to remain alive. The mountains soon won the trial and King Louis XVI was later beheaded by the guillotine. The National Convention was elected to provide a new constitution for the country after it became a republic. The execution of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette created the Committee of Public Safety,  which was what also started the reign of terror. The Committee of Public Safety was created by the National Convention in 1793, this group was made up of 12 members. The reign of terror was a direct result of the National Conventions creation of the Committee of Public Safety. During a Ten month period in which 300,000 people were arrested and 40 to 50 thousand people were killed by the guillotine. The tension between the two opposing factions was the first phase of the National Convention. The Mountains fought for the poorer classes, fighting for more political power, while the Girondins wanted to reduce the power of Paris over time in the Revolution. Reacting against the Committee’s policies, many members of the Convention wanted to overthrow the Committee leader, Maximilian Robespierre.This action corresponded to the final phase of the Convention.

During the French Revolution, from June 13th, 1789, till July 9th, 1789 was the National Assembly. This assembly created the Declaration of rights of men and the citizen, which was to give rights to all citizens in France no matter what laws king Louis passed. This assembly also created the tennis court oath, which was created on June 20th, "not to separate, and to resemble wherever circumstances require until the constitution of the kingdom is established" (Britannica). This assembly was also known for the fall of Bastille, which was used for a state prison. This stood 100 ft tall and surrounded by a moat over 80 ft wide. When this fell it was the flash point of the french revolution. This also caused many bread riots. France had awful winters, and since bread was their main diet source, these riots would be created because farmers wouldn't have their wheat. Although their were challenges, the national assembly also had some big successes.

In 1789-1799 Napoleon rose through the ranks of the military by using political power in France. in 1804 Napoleon crowned himself emperor.  Napoleon started many different wars against many European nations. This did not help stop the revolution but did help expand his empire. He also put in reforms in such areas as banking and education. Some may say Napoleon was a dictator, so he was later exiled to a island called Elba then he later came back to rule for around one hundred days then was sent back to the island of Saint Helena, where he died at age 51. He could have helped stop the revolution by not waging war against so many nations

There was also a fight going on between the Monarchy and the nobility over the "reform" of the taxes and that led to a bankrupt and actually started the revolution. On June in 1789 the Estates General held a meeting at the tennis court. The Third Estate's oath of the tennis court and its claim started a revolutionary situation in France. The french revolution could have been prevented if the conflict would have never happened
