Economic and Political problems are starting to rise, angering the citizens. Absolute Monarchy was in full effect once again and the citizens are having none of it. Also taxing the poor was common again which angered the citizens even more. Social problems included no voting rights and suffrage. The citizens didn't appreciate that either.

People start throwing bread again.

A complete financial breakdown occurs when taxes are abused towards the third class. People are upset because of how fast it took to go back to absolute monarchy, so in return, they riot. King Louis XVII has done nothing to improve the revolution, or even try to suppress the revolution either. Students and radical Republicans were angry at King Louis XVII's horrible leadership, so they built barricades in the poorest areas of the city, those overpopulated areas inhabited by the lower classes.

Barricades, angry people, and a worried King

The Revolution is now at its highest. The Citizens formed their own "country" and King Louis XVII couldn't even try to intervene. Some French soldiers resisted these barricades, but they pulled out of the battle since those people were not going anywhere soon. A man named Dupont de l'Eure was the main leader of the revolution since he was the first person to speak out against the king. Threats were made to King Louis XVII which made him scared since the last King who got threats was beheaded. The King needs to decide soon or he could end up like King Louis XVI.

King steps down and another republic forms.

After many threats, King Louis XVII finally stepped down from the throne, afraid of being killed. This is fantastic news for the Civilians, so they decide to form another republic. They were even able to vote for their first-ever president, Dupont de l'Eure. This revolution may not have been a crazy one like the first one they had, but it got rid of absolute Monarchy, so the poor don't have to be taxed a fortune anymore. This was a really quick revolution that only lasted about 10 days. This revolution proves that anything can be down quickly and efficiently if you have a good cause.
