The king was considered part of no estate.

    2 the riot before the revolution is 
    Storming of the Bastille

    3 Enlightenment A philosophical movement of the 1700s that emphasized the use of reason to scrutinize previously accepted doctrines and traditions and that brought about many humanitarian reforms

    4Men are born and remain free and equal in rights. Social distinctions may be founded only upon the general good.

    5The colors symbolize nobility (blue), clergy (white), and bourgeois (red), which were the estates of the old regime in France. When the Tricolour was formally adopted in 1794, its colors symbolized the values of the French Revolution: liberty, equality, brotherhood, democracy, secularism, and modernization.

    6. I think French revolution has achieved its aims because France's prevented the restoration of the monarchy and start its rapid development.

    First, there are four categories of people. Kings, clergy, nobles and civilians. The king has the greatest power
    Second, riots occurred because of the lack of food caused by environmental factors
    Third, the Enlightenment was a movement of intellectuals, who advocated the use of rationality and science
    Fourth, the Declaration on human and civil rights is the legislation on men's rights in France written by Marquis Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson.
    Fifth, color represents: aristocracy (blue), clergy (white) and bourgeoisie (red)
    Sixth, they are now a constitutional republic. All people have enough food to eat. Without the Nobel Prize, everyone is equal. There are no more social hierarchies.]]>     2021-09-29 09:36:28 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/13i66esr3poe90q0/wish/1777474354     Group 2 https://padlet.com/usictech/13i66esr3poe90q0/wish/1777475472 1. 
    - First Estate: Clergy (most powerful) ex King
    - Second Estate: Nobles
    - Third Estate: Peasants (majority of people)

    2. 
    - Political conflicts between monarchy and nobility. 
    - Economic hardship & social inequality in France. They were given lower wages and high unemployment 
    - The Enlightenment 
    - Food Shortage 
    - Ignited prices 
    - population anger 
    - over 300 riots

    3. 
    - Enlightenment: Also known as the age of reason is a loosely organised activity of prominent French thinkers of the mid-decades of the 8 century that encouraged the French Revolution and emphasized the rights of common men and laid the foundation for modern, rational, democratic societies.

    4.  The Declaration of Rights of man and citizen was issued to declare equality. The principle gives man the right of liberty, private property, the inviolability of the person, and resistance to oppression.

    5. liberty, equality, brotherhood, democracy, secularism, and modernization

    6. The French Revolution succeeded as it changed the social and political construct in France. They ended the monarchy, feudalism, and they took political power from the Catholic church. They succeeded in achieving goals in the third class and giving them more rights. They obtained freedom from the commoner as well as abolishment of slavery and they gained women rights. 

    However, it can be seen as controversial some can argue that the French Revolution didn't succeed completely because they didn't meet all the civil rights instituted and did not represent the values the citizens fought for.
