Unfortunately, I have been fired today after being Louis XVI's financial minister. The news struck the whole town which apparently made the people very angry and has been causing a lot of riots. All I wanted was for these people, being the 3rd Estate, to have more rights. The laws are unfair in this country regarding the 3rd Estate and I am proud to say that they should raid and protest. Louis needs to be put in his place and these people are fighting to do so by ripping the Bastille piece by piece and raiding the staff. Hopefully, the king gets the message. The people have gone mad, and they want their freedoms and no threats from the other classes. ]]> 2019-02-19 17:43:54 UTC https://padlet.com/odonnell_b045/frenchrev/wish/332823530 odonnell_b045 https://padlet.com/odonnell_b045/frenchrev/wish/332823639 Louis XVI:
I call this meeting because I need assistance. I have run out of money given from the 3rd Estate. We have been getting into financial debt and we need to make some changes.The common person is broke because of the amount of taxes they have paid. I am hoping to be able to persuade members of all Estates to agree with my tax reform. Also, I am very worried about the 1st Estate and 2nd Estate outnumbering the 3rd Estate and not agreeing with my tax reform. This country needs change and i am willing to make adjustments and reforms so that we are stable. This country is in danger and bankrupt. A meeting has not been called in 175 years so hopefully we are able to accomplish something!

Although i am not a part of the Third Estate and I should be advocating with my fellow clergies and church foes, that does not mean that they have no rights. We as people should have liberty and freedom. The Declaration of the Rights of Man and citizens is crucial for the lives of everyone. We are not equal as people and that needs to change. King Louis XVI is leading a corrupt economy and country in all. These poor 3rd Estate citizens are not treated as a citizen at all but as slaves and peasants. This declaration will establish fair and just laws. Every man will be equal. Every man will have rights within punishments regarding crimes. Every man will have the right for their property to be owned and not destroyed nor ruined. Every man will have freedom of speech, etc. King Louis XVI must sign this declaration, the National Assembly is too powerful for him to decline. ]]> 2019-02-19 17:45:17 UTC https://padlet.com/odonnell_b045/frenchrev/wish/332824341 odonnell_b045 https://padlet.com/odonnell_b045/frenchrev/wish/332824899 Surviving Child:
Word says that the nobles are going to attack us. Panic has spread across our country and it is causing chaos. My mom and dad said that we are strong and can take on the upper class! There is nothing that can tear us down, the 3rd Estate is too big and strong for the nobles. They always want power and you would think that after our beating of the Swiss Guards that they would back off. We are indestructible, and the National Assembly is here to stay therefore, we are going to act first! We will get all of our people and fight them before they get one of our men down. Watch out nobles, we are coming for you! NO MORE FEUDALISM!]]> 2019-02-19 17:46:11 UTC https://padlet.com/odonnell_b045/frenchrev/wish/332824899 odonnell_b045 https://padlet.com/odonnell_b045/frenchrev/wish/333972337 Jean Marat:
Finally King Louis XVI was sent to the guillotine. The people will have true liberty and be able to make decisions under a different government. As a proud member of the Jacobin club i have developed many beliefs towards the King.  Everyone who supports the King should die. Louis was a weak and terrible leader. He left our country with no food and no money. A country should be run by someone who knows what happens within all parts of the area, not just the outskirts where him and his family lived. He did not know of poverty and suffering. He only cared about himself and his wife who spent way too much money on non-valuable items. this execution set a milestone of happiness among France and made me feel a bit of relief. King Louis XVI deserved to die and the people who are suffering in France shall live again.]]> 2019-02-22 00:47:27 UTC https://padlet.com/odonnell_b045/frenchrev/wish/333972337 odonnell_b045 https://padlet.com/odonnell_b045/frenchrev/wish/333972434 Maximilien Robespierre:
King Louis XVI is gone and our country is one again. The power is now in the hands of the people and everyone is free from that terrible man however, we still need changes. I am willing to take power and make us great again as a member of the Jacobin group. I  hope to create a republic of Virtue through our devotion to God. To accomplish this we must enforce terror. I will set "spies" out to listen to everyone and everything. If someone supports the King or is an enemy of my views i will have them sent to the guillotine and they will be executed. It is necessary to bring about fear into the people's heads. Groups such as the Hebertists shall never live because of their anti-religious beliefs. People like them should be frown upon and shamed. I hope to build this nation with the guillotine and my fellow colleagues within the government.

Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI tried to flee France about a week ago. My sister was in great danger in the heart of France because of all of her enemies and the people that do not like the absolute monarchy. An absolute monarchy is essential for every country and King Louis felt obligated to leave because he was losing power. The people would eventually grow hatred towards his and begin a republic in which he would probably be executed. He should have the right to leave when his people need him no more. It is unfortunate that his people do not trust him anymore but that is only because they don't know why he wanted to leave. I wish they made it to Austria because they are welcome to my country. I hope all goes well in France and that Louis gets his power back.

King Louis XVI is a great leader. The  constitutional monarchy in France is a crime and shall be repressed. King Louis XVI deserves his power back and i accept France's challenge to war. No country should live under anything besides an absolute monarchy because one King or Queen keeps the country in check. I will destroy France if any members harm the royal family and i will fight to protect my country until the bitter end. If this war continues on for a long period of time i will gather a foreign army. I have many monarchs from European countries that would take my side and defeat France. Watch out France, you will have your king rein again!
