The Women’s March on Versailles(October 5, 1789) 

# data[].attributes.body
The Women’s March on Versailles first started because many women were disappointed that the Declaration did not permit equal citizenship to women. Due to this, journalist Olympe deGouges argued in her Declaration of the Rights of Women that women are equal citizens and should aid from the reform just as much as men. However, Louis XVI didn’t want to accept the reforms of the National Assembly. Women marched on Versailles on October 5, 1789 and insisted on seeing the king because they were angry about the famine. They were also angry at Queen Marie Antoinette, who was against the reforms and lived a luxurious life. Lastly, due to all of the anger built up the women brought the king and queen to Paris where they lived as virtual prisoners.

Establishment of the New Constitution( September 3, 1791) 

# data[].attributes.body
The establishment of the New Constitution was a major event during the French Revolution. The Constitution of 1791 was the first written constitution of France. The National Assembly had produced it and this set up a limited/constitutional monarchy. This new monarchy terminated the absolute monarchy which means the king and queen had to follow this constitution as well. They didn't have absolute power anymore. The legislative assembly could collect taxes, make laws, and decide on issues of peace and war. Many reformers believed this constitution as a perfect fit for France but obviously the King and Queen of the time (King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette) didn't agree with this. They tried to leave France but it didn't work to their benefit. They were considered traitors to the revolution and were eventually executed for treason.
