If you cannot guess what this letter is about, you are probably not paying attention to what we, your citizens are feeling. However, it is very likely that you did not care about what we were going through, so let me spell it out for you: WE ARE BREAKING UP WITH YOU!

Your tiny brains may be asking why we are choosing to do this now, but in truth, this should have happened a while ago. For one, we the third estate represent 97% of the French population, and yet we are discriminated against in the law! Votes should be counted by head and not status, because laws affect us the most. Additionally, times are changing. We no longer believe that you have the divine right to rule us. Philosophers and enlightenment thinkers like Jean Jaques Rousseau, want a democratic government for the people and by the people. We as a country do not acknowledge the legitimacy of your rule, which is why we are demanding that the "Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen" is recognized and implemented, and that would mean breaking up with you. And lastly, how could we forget the famines, and your lack of care and action to combat it! We are STARVING, while you two continue to spend exorbitant amounts of money on luxuries. Marie Antoinette even suggested that we eat brioche because we don't have bread. How ignorant are you? 

Getting independence and democracy means that we must separate from you immediately. I think that we are justified in using violent means. We are going to storm the palace and take away the weapons. We will then forcefully oust you and the rest of the royals from the palace and claim our country. We will make you and all your pay for your crimes in the only option of punishment left- the guillotine. 

Hope you can manage to be at ease despite your inevitable removal, 
The Third Estate ]]> 2021-02-03 17:14:33 UTC https://padlet.com/23bhatrisha/1wtshlml1pxbd7x9/wish/1159912051
