June 1791

As the National Assembly grew their relationship with the church and state, Kind Louis became concerned about his status in the country. He believed the royal family was in danger and needed to act soon. They attempted to escape to the netherlands, but when they arrived at the boarder there were guards there. Those guards forced them back to Paris. This escape attempt dramatically influenced the citizens perspective on the Royal family.  https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.timetoast.com/public/uploads/photos/5901544/image2FI.JPG?1477139068

September 1791

The Constitution of 1791 was created primarily to reduce the kings power through the country and give its people a larger say. It had the power to create laws and approve or reject any declarations of war. This helped to lessen the kings role. Even though this constitution was created, the King still held the executive power. This constitution did not last, despite its priority to help the people in France.

June 1789

The National Assembly was composed of the third estate delegates who were eager to make changes within the government. Their main priority within this assembly was to give an advantage to the third estate. This group demanded that all three estates meet together and that each delegate would have a vote. This was to ensure the third estate would be given greater opportunities to make a change in their everyday lives. Constructing the National Assembly was one of the first intentional acts of revolution.

When third estate delegates realized they had been locked out of their meeting room, they broke down a door to an indoor tennis court. When they did this, they guaranteed they would not leave until a new constitution had been written. Many people who favored the revolution joined them soon after. This act is known as the Tennis Court Oath.

When people began to fear what their king was going to do next, they broke into a prison known as the Bastille. They were looking for gunpowder and weapons to arm themselves incase it was needed. The large mob attacked and killed many of the guards of the prison, eventually gaining them full control over it. The mob began to advertise their success by marching through streets with the dead guards heads on pikes. This event became very symbolic in the French Revolution.

August 1789

The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen was based off of the ideas of The Declaration of Independence. It guaranteed citizens many different rights and freedoms. Although this seems like the ideal document for the people of France it was not due to its unseen restrictions. This document did not apply to women and when a woman named Olympe De Gouges tried to stand up for women by stating her ideas, she was considered a threat to the revolution and was executed.
