These women would be upset because they would lack a staple food source in France. Because of this people were starving and generally displeased with their situation.

The women would be beyond angry and do more than just rioting in the streets. The difference between the women knowing about how the monarchy was living and not knowing is their goal for rioting. When they don't know, they're trying to bring attention to an issue so that the monarchy can fix it, but when they know the people's goal would be to save their families and rid themselves of the selfish monarchy.

zoemorales2026 — 2024-12-09 14:01:33 UTC

I think that it was different for the French because the majority of people (97%) were suffering from poverty and starvation. Today, at least in the US, there is a large middle class that's able to maintain a job and receives support from the government if they're struggling.

cooperwhite2025 — 2024-12-09 14:02:48 UTC

The enlightened ideas of philosophers led people to see how their living situations could be different. Ideas about how people should react and relate to the government were developed. People began to see the government as corrupt and not serving its purpose to protect its people.

lorenzofrancis2025 — 2024-12-09 14:03:07 UTC

The outrage of these women would have been intensified. If they saw these royals living in excess, they would be angry because it was a luxury they could not enjoy.

zoemorales2026 — 2024-12-09 14:03:17 UTC

I think these women would feel angry and frustrated at their government for not providing them with the resources they need to survive. They would likely feel betrayed by their government and the Roman Catholic Church that refuses to listen to them.

nolaperry2026 — 2024-12-09 14:03:59 UTC

The woman would be mad because they don't have enough food or even enough money to afford anything. It would anger them because then they won't be able to feed their kids. It would get even worse when they are the royal living with more food that they could eat

erynberkstresser2026 — 2024-12-09 14:04:09 UTC

During the reign of King Louis XVI women would feel extremely angry, and maybe some hurt. They would most likely do more severe rioting than just in the streets, I feel they would be displeased with the ways that the monarchy in France flourishes on the use of bread without caring about the scarcity around the rest of the towns.

amercier2026 — 2024-12-09 14:04:52 UTC

I think the women would be very upset. People were starving and needed to eat, but the royals were greedy and got all of the goods they wanted. This would make the women even more upset because they did not get to enjoy that.

eguzmanbueno2026 — 2024-12-09 14:05:44 UTC

It was different back then because the majority of the people were suffering, and the other 3% of nobles and royals were making decisions that only benefited them, unlike today, where things are a bit more equal and fair than before. Back then, the majority of people were starving to death, and the economy was going really badly. Even when they asked nobles to change things up to make it more stable, they still ignored the majority of the poverty.

andrewsmith2026 — 2024-12-09 14:05:45 UTC

The women would not be happy because they would see how the monarchy was wasting bread while the citizens where barely surviving without bread.

cooperwhite2025 — 2024-12-09 14:06:17 UTC

It was different here because people were starving and in terrible conditions leading them to pushing back against the government.

nolaperry2026 — 2024-12-09 14:06:37 UTC

The enlightened philosophies shaped the everyday lives of the people by showing the people how their living situations could be different. It shows the ideas of how people should react or even interact with each other. Soon the people realized that the government was corrupt and was not protecting the people but they were hurting them in the process.

amercier2026 — 2024-12-09 14:08:02 UTC

The Enlightened philosophies of the government shaped the everyday lives of the French People because people would it showed the people how their living situations could have been changed and different. People were seeing how the royals and government were wrong.

erynberkstresser2026 — 2024-12-09 14:08:17 UTC

The Enlightened philosophes of the government shaped the everyday lives of the French people by leading them to see the different way that people could think and live for themselves. For example, Mary Wollstonecraft, she reinvented the way that the women specifically think about what their places in not only in government and politics but in the reign in general.

nolaperry2026 — 2024-12-09 14:08:33 UTC

In today's time it is different because there isn't a big group of people who are starving and don't have enough food to feed their families. Yes, there are rich people but the regular person has enough money to feed their families and there is enough food in general.

andrewsmith2026 — 2024-12-09 14:08:54 UTC

Wollstonecraft helped push the argument for women's rights which did not directly affect the government, but did play a major role among the citizens which influenced riots.

cooperwhite2025 — 2024-12-09 14:09:37 UTC

As time goes on and people's ideas about their situations progress people will begin to want change. In the French Revolution for example people were fed up with the disparity in power between them and the French government. Because of this, their ideas began to shift and change leading to the Enlightenment and ultimately the French Revolution.

lorenzofrancis2025 — 2024-12-09 14:09:38 UTC

Enlightened thought shaped everyday life for the French people in that it welcomed criticism of the divine right absolutism exercised by the Bourbon dynasty. English philosopher John Locke asserted that he was against divine right absolutism in his Two Treatises, being in favor of people setting up their own governments.

kylebates2026 — 2024-12-09 14:10:00 UTC

The women would be very angry because they would see how nice and easy the monarchs lives are compared to how difficult their own lives are.

nly2025 — 2024-12-09 14:10:12 UTC

Those women were angry and they were protesting in the streets a lot. Because of their up set and did not have food to feed their family. At that time, food was very expensive and luxurious to them, that's why their outrage was more and more.

amercier2026 — 2024-12-09 14:10:14 UTC

I think it was different for the French because most of the population was struggling to find food and they were starving. The royals were selfish and only made decisions that would benefit themselves. Today, the economy is fixed and more reliable.

eguzmanbueno2026 — 2024-12-09 14:10:25 UTC

The women would probably be enraged with how the monarchs lived since they didn't even have enough flour to make bread. Imagine how wasteful the monarchs were for having all these treats and not even eating all of them, which required a lot of flour. This would cause even more anger since people especially children have been dying of starvation and these monarchs over here are eating to their heart's content and wasting food.

erynberkstresser2026 — 2024-12-09 14:10:43 UTC

It is different for the king and queen than the US because people were suffering more often than not and this also led them to push back against the government for a variety of reasons. Today, most of the people who live with immense wealth are generous to a point but the others without it can usually get by for the most part and if they are continuing to struggle, there are many resources for them to learn on.

sophiacomeau2026 — 2024-12-09 14:10:59 UTC

Women would be furious about this situation and the infuriating greed these higher rulers showcase. The monarchs lack empathy for the basic needs of their people, leaving starving children and mothers in the streets.

andrewsmith2026 — 2024-12-09 14:11:06 UTC

The government today is different in a few reasons. One being the government under King Louis XVI was weak and did not meet the citizens needs. His government was not able to provide enough bread for all the citizens to live comfortably. While todays government does a good job with balancing costs and the peoples needs.

amercier2026 — 2024-12-09 14:11:27 UTC

Change over time is caused by how people view certain things. For example: The French people were upset about what the government was doing, so they wanted change and they wanted to be able to not struggle.

zoemorales2026 — 2024-12-09 14:11:37 UTC

Although the French government might have been influenced by the Enlightenment, they did not have a great positive impact on their people. Some French officials tried to improve the lives of their subjects through lowering the taxes, but the old system maintained the power of nobles and the Church.

I think Voltaire helped facilitate change in France during the Enlightenment. He spread ideas from international philosophers and encouraged freedom of thought, expression, and speech. Voltaire was especially influential through his writing and continues to have an impact on literature today.

lorenzofrancis2025 — 2024-12-09 14:12:17 UTC

I think that the social, economic, and political climate has drastically changed in that the gap between the incredibly wealthy and the middle class has gotten smaller. In the time of the French Revolution, people were starving and suffering due to the neglect of those higher up, but now that suffering is not so severe and anger is no longer directed.

nolaperry2026 — 2024-12-09 14:12:21 UTC

As time keeps going people will want to try new things and do this differently they will do anything to fix something that is causing them harm. The French Revolution is a good example of this since the people were fed up with the king and queen with them wasting food that could feed multiple family only to have them through pounds of food out at the end of the night that they never finished while the people are starving in the cold.

katebarbato2026 — 2024-12-09 14:12:44 UTC

The Enlightened philosophies of the government shaped the everyday lives of the French people by introducing Locke's ideas of natural rights belonging to all people from birth, which were life, liberty, and property as well as his concept of a social contract between the monarchy and the people. This impacted the French because a lack of access to food impedes both your natural right to life and liberty and since the monarchy wasn't fulfilling their side of the agreement the people had the right to overthrow the government. This philosophy caused the French people to riot and eventually start a revolution against the monarchs in Versailles.

erynberkstresser2026 — 2024-12-09 14:13:06 UTC

Overall, the main thing that causes change over time in the expansions of people's idea is on knowledge and their views on different subjects. In France, the people were upset with the way the wealthy were able to flourish but the poverty rate was rising so they expanded their knowledge and fought back, this combines with ideas of the enlightenment.

andrewsmith2026 — 2024-12-09 14:13:18 UTC

One thing that changed over time is the formality of the monarchy. The monarchy became less self focused. They also started to support the citizens rather than focusing on other countries while theirs was dying.

People live with immense wealth today but we don’t see the general public rising up against them. Why do you think it was different for the King and Queen in France than it is for citizens of the U.S.A.?

kylebates2026 — 2024-12-09 14:13:27 UTC

They were the rulers of the country and they were making baked goods all the time while the people that relied on bread to live couldn't get any because there was a shortage. In the U.S. the wealthy people arent stealing the rest of the countries food source.

sophiacomeau2026 — 2024-12-09 14:14:41 UTC

The general public does not rise against the rich today due to our ability to afford the cost of living. Back then the rulers taxed the people higher for selfish reasons and failed to consider the well being of the people.

lorenzofrancis2025 — 2024-12-09 14:15:24 UTC

Change over time is caused by thoughts that turn into words that turn into actions. If these thoughts, words, and actions are generally accepted, then they will flourish and translate into societal change.

eguzmanbueno2026 — 2024-12-09 14:17:05 UTC

Change happens in many ways but mostly through going against the norms and questioning authority and power. Like in the Enlightenment and Scientific Revolution where the philosophers started to ask different questions and view the world differently than how the church taught them. Also like in the French and American Revolutions where they fought against the higher powers to get the equal rights and living they deserve which changed how their government worked and how it treated its people.

zoemorales2026 — 2024-12-09 14:19:17 UTC

Change over time is caused by significant events or movements. Naturally, people will change and evolve, but change is most visible when it's been brought on by major historical events. For example, Europeans began to change their opinion of the government due to the Protestant Reformation, the Scientific Revolution, and the Enlightenment. These events pushed Europeans to form new ideas about what the government is and what it should be.

katebarbato2026 — 2024-12-09 14:21:03 UTC

It was different for the King and Queen in France than it is for the citizens of the USA because the people in the US have more representation in government than the French people did. The french majority had equal an vote in the government to both the nobility and the RCC. This led to both the first and second estates ganging up on the third estate. This lack of choice in big decisions led to the French peoples' uprising. Since the the people in the US aren't divided intro three estates like the French they don't have to rise up against the wealthy.

eguzmanbueno2026 — 2024-12-09 14:21:54 UTC

The Enlightenment philosophers were the ones to start questioning things and also the ones to give ideas on a better life and how the monarchs should actually be treating their people. They helped open people's eyes to new possibilities in life and how everything could be different if they stood up and made the change themselves.

nly2025 — 2024-12-09 14:23:15 UTC

I think Rousseau is a philosopher who helped the government shape the everyday lives of the French people. Firstly, the consent of the government because he said that the best form of government is a direct democracy that promotes the common good of the majority. Moreover, he promoted the ideas of the return to nature, the Natural Law, the Noble Savage and the importance of natural education. His works influenced the leaders of the French revolution as well as French people's lives.

katebarbato2026 — 2024-12-09 14:25:14 UTC

Change over time is caused by new ideas and thoughts that are formed by philosophers and great thinkers. Over time, we build upon old ideas with new thoughts, which leads to new knowledge and changes in peoples' practices. Change over time is caused by educated thinkers.

vlopez2026 — 2024-12-09 14:28:12 UTC

The women would not be happy because they had little money for food and were barely managing while the monarchs were spending all this money and wasting so much.

nkhan2026_1 — 2024-12-09 14:30:06 UTC

Enlightenment thinker like Rousseau and Voltaire changed life of the people of french by promoting equality, freedom, and government by the people. because of Rousseau people wanted more say in government and because of Voltaire people had free speech, and religious tolerance.

nly2025 — 2024-12-09 14:30:56 UTC

I think it was different because people who lived in French at that time was poor and did not have enough food or money to feed their family because of the selfish of the government, that's why led to the rioted and against the government. However, nowadays, people have jobs and have enough money for their family. Also I think the government is better and has many policies to support people and are much more reliable than before.

2024-12-09 14:31:04 UTC

I think the women rioted because they were really hungry, and there wasn’t enough bread, and they probably felt scared and very mad because they couldn’t take care of their families.

vlopez2026 — 2024-12-09 14:31:48 UTC

I think that is was different for the French. This is because in the modern day we have a very large middle class of people who live comfortably and can afford necessities and some wants. But back then 97% of them couldn't even afford bread.

2024-12-09 14:32:04 UTC

I think Enlightenment thinkers, like John Locke, he said that all people are equal and should have rights, and this made people wonder why the king had all the power. I think it gave them hope to try and change things.

nkhan2026_1 — 2024-12-09 14:33:13 UTC

the king and queen had total control and lived in luxury while people were suffering, this made the U.S.A mad so they used there democratic system so that the wealthy didn't have the same absolute power.

2024-12-09 14:33:32 UTC

I think people don’t revolt now because things aren’t as bad. Because there are programs to help people who don’t have enough money, and people can speak up online instead of fighting, and some people may still feel upset, but not enough to revolt.

2024-12-09 14:34:08 UTC

I think things change when people have new ideas or big problems happen, and people learn, invent things, or stand up for what’s right. That’s how the world slowly changes.

2024-12-09 14:34:32 UTC

The women were probably really angry and stressed out. Bread was the main food they ate, and if they couldn’t get any, their families would go hungry.

nly2025 — 2024-12-09 14:36:05 UTC

In my opinion, the causes change over time are their knowledge in a variety field. Also some events in history also caused them to change their view. For example, the American Revolution helped American people change their thought, or the Enlightenment help Europe people have a better view and open their mind a lot.

2024-12-09 14:36:41 UTC

The Enlightenment made people start thinking about fairness and freedom. Philosophers like Rousseau talked about how the government should work for the people and not just the king.

nkhan2026_1 — 2024-12-09 14:37:28 UTC

Something that changer the the use of monarchy's as a power system because when there was a monarchy present they kings or queens would focus on other countries rather than their countrie and the people of their countrie who were more then often suffering.

vlopez2026 — 2024-12-09 14:37:52 UTC

The Enlightened philosophies of the government shaped the everyday lives of the French people by allowing them to acknowledge what rights they should have in a society. One example of this would be John Locke. John Locke believed in natural rights which were rights belonging to all people at birth. His ideas allowed the French to see what they were missing and that they could change it.

2024-12-09 14:39:59 UTC

Things are different now because people have more ways to get help like food programs or charities. Before there was no support system for the less-fortuante so they had to fight back to survive.

2024-12-09 14:41:19 UTC

Change happens when things aren’t working and people push for something better. Such as new ideas, inventions, or big problems/unfair rules can lead to changes.

vlopez2026 — 2024-12-09 14:44:20 UTC

Change over time is caused by a society's needs and wants changing. A society will never stay the same, it will always be working to become the best possible version of itself. And to become the best possible version of itself it needs to change and adapt.

lukesoden2026 — 2024-12-09 15:10:29 UTC

I think they would be extremely angry because not only were they starving, but so were their families.

lukesoden2026 — 2024-12-09 15:22:27 UTC

The enlightened philosophies of the government shaped everyday lives of the French people because these ideas led people to see how they didn't deserve the way they were being treated and that things could be changed.

landonbeveridge2026 — 2024-12-09 15:24:13 UTC

The woman would feel upset and sad because they have no food to thrive and have a general food source. These women would also feel frustrated with their government for not giving them enough food sources.

jackskoglund2026 — 2024-12-09 15:27:07 UTC

The women would be filled with rage as they would see the monarchs living luxuriously wasting all this bread making their pastries while they get scraps of bread.

landonbeveridge2026 — 2024-12-09 15:27:14 UTC

The enlightened philosophies shape their everyday lives by showing that the people could live differently and that certain situations did not have to ruin them. They could make a big change and support the challenges that we face today and help us overcome them.

jackskoglund2026 — 2024-12-09 15:29:02 UTC

The ideas of the philosophies of the government shape the everyday lives of the French people because the philosophy of the people paying all the taxes causing the people to have no money for themselves to buy bread to eat.

landonbeveridge2026 — 2024-12-09 15:29:22 UTC

I think it's different today because majority of the people were suffering from starvation and prices rising of bread and taxes, today most people have jobs so they can pay for there own self-care and the government isn't taking our money for there own needs.

landonbeveridge2026 — 2024-12-09 15:30:40 UTC

Change overtime is caused from different opinions changing and the society changing over time. The different needs and wants that people have make a big impact on our society today and what we have and support in our government.

jackskoglund2026 — 2024-12-09 15:30:49 UTC

We don't see this today because they still have to pay taxes while in France back then, the common people paid for the rich people's taxes.

jackskoglund2026 — 2024-12-09 18:10:17 UTC

Change over time is caused by people having different views than others. This causes debates that create new ways of thinking and ideas that change the way we act and think.

lukesoden2026 — 2024-12-09 18:12:07 UTC

I think this is different today because there are many wealthy people who don't have significant political power. The main problem before was that their government was extremely wealthy but gave nothing to the normal civilians. Today this is not the case, our government does not have all the power or money. Normal civilians all have what they need to survive as long as they earn it.

lukesoden2026 — 2024-12-09 18:15:52 UTC

Over time people cause change. Ideas and people grow, we improve upon the things we have.

crislarymartinez2026 — 2024-12-10 12:34:51 UTC

People coming up with new ideas, speaking up, and taking action over issues cause change over time.

crislarymartinez2026 — 2024-12-10 13:13:42 UTC

These women were incredibly upset because they were being neglected of such an important staple of food. Everyone was struggling to put food on the table for their families and starving, so they spoke up in a riot.

crislarymartinez2026 — 2024-12-10 13:26:23 UTC

The enlightened philosophies shaped the everyday lives of the French people by adding reason to society. Many ideas of how the government can be equal and benefit the people more were created. t helped get rid of the corrupt government to help better serve the people to make their lives easier.

crislarymartinez2026 — 2024-12-10 13:27:58 UTC

I think it's different because today we have a large middle class that has jobs and can at least get by. Unlike the French everyone was struggling and starving aside from the rich.
