The French society was divided into rigid social clases:
The privileged (nobles, feudal lords and the higher clergy), and  the unprivileged  (peasants, tenants, labourers, artisans, small traders and shopkeepers)
This division marked a lot of differences, and this led to the outbreak of the revolution.
The French revolution destroyed the social discriminative class system in France and declared equality for all. The revolution came up with the equality and career open to talents, i.e., appointment and promotion was to based on talents and ability. This led to rise of middle class who had acquired education to positions of responsibilities.

Requests in the Registers of Grievances demonstrated to the Estates General, soon to become the National Assembly, that expectations for change were high and the reform of military justice was one of the principal problems ripe for resolution.

After the French revolution changes were made in the military area unfortunately, the Revolution was not completely successful in resolving the problems of military justice, failing particularly to institute a comprehensive military justice code. The Revolution did, however, bring enlightened rationalism, especially through new legislation, to what was a very tangled system under the Old Regime.

If you were french you were also catholic, these applying to the majority of the population, specially the monarchy and rich people. France's lack of religious toleration affected the minorities which believed in another religión. Voltaire's ideas influence each time more people and they started questioning the liberty that meant  being part of the Catholic Church. Each time a greater portion of the society nt including the rich people and the clerges, nuns and priests were protesting against this. Being one of their reasons by which the Revolution took place.

It should be noted that the revolution built the greatest armies with which France had until then, to the point that the military establishment had a dominant role in French politics, which allowed the advent of a military dictatorship commanded by Napoleon. Thus the Revolution advanced various elements of military justice categorization of offenses, sentences that matched the gravity of a crime or misdemeanor, greater celerity in investigating and trying cases, and France's first military appeals courts  that were later incorporated into the nation's first comprehensive military justice code in 1857.
