The tax reform was moving towards the start of taxing aristocrats. more so that the country wouldn't be as much in debt. The reason that the country needed the 1st and 2nd estates was because they helped the American revolution and queen Antoinette over spent the countries money. This was the first assembly of the estates in 175 years.

The 1st and 2nd estates believed that anything the 3rd estate said was wrong. They also believed that the opinion's of the third estate about the taxes were irrelevant because they were commoners. 3rd estate was furious that they decided to break into an indoor tennis court next door and pledged to stay until a new constitution was made.

Soldiers were stationed all around the boarders of France and because of this the citizens felt unprotected and defenseless. therefore, they went and over threw the Bastille, a French prison during 1370 through 1790 when the Parisian citizens demolished it after taking the armory from It for protection.

This document however did not apply to women in anyway. This document became a basis for a nation of free individuals. The document was based off the Enlightenment ideas and philosopher's. The document itself had a major impact on the development of freedom and Democracy in Europe.

The King obliges and collects his things and leaves Versailles forever. when the royal family gets to Paris, they try to make a quick get away for Austria where Queen Antoinette's bother is ruler. The kings carriage stops just short of the border and gets caught by civilians. This action by the royal family causes the people to feel betrayed by the king and no longer has any respect for him nor do they trust him.

The Prussian commander threatened to destroy Paris if any harm came to the Royal family. by this time the enemies were already across the boarder and were making their way to Paris. During this time the Revolutionaries were getting ready for battles and sending themselves out to fight. because there was little to no one left to keep an eye on the prisoner's, they went into the prision and massacred hundreds of thousands of people. This act is called the September massacres.  https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/b6/54/70/b6547025325664c1c1aa4ae416169030.jpg]]> 2019-02-25 01:00:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jadwin_e0501/frenchrev/wish/334657531 jadwin_e0501 https://padlet.com/jadwin_e0501/frenchrev/wish/334660524 When the king tried to make a break for Austria, they saw it as a betrayal of his people, and imprisoned him and his family.

During this time he thought and made many other people think that the only way to keep control of the revolution was to kill anyone who went against the ideas that Robespierre had. As the French Revolution dragged on and became more invasive, Robespierre was becoming more powerful. He was now put in charge of an emergency government called the Committee of Public safety. This committee threw the DOROMAC right out the window and started killing more than 25,000 people based on their political views.

Robespierre was denied any help during his trial and was condemned to death because he was found guilty. This to a lot of people marked the end of the French Revolution. During the final stage, a  new government called The Directory took control of France. A Directory is the rule of a few and a more moderate government.
