The two upper states the Clergy, and the Nobles had special privileges, but the Bourgeoise had no special rights and payed most of the taxes. The economic situation in France that led to the revolution was due to the fact that France was in debt. Louis XVI was a total corrupt leader. Helped the Americans in war which led to the debt. Food shortage also played a part as a result of debt because the taxes became higher. In political terms the enlightenment ideas had a great influence in the revolution. The ideas of the enlightenment influenced the Rev. by the different views of equality, liberty, and democracy. ]]> 2016-11-03 16:23:31 UTC https://padlet.com/349108/s7t0vout9cnl/wish/135145788 349108 https://padlet.com/349108/s7t0vout9cnl/wish/135146060 One similarity between the French and the American Revolution is it was between the lower classes. The French Revolution was between the lower class (Bourgeoisie) and the French  Government. As for the American Revolution it was between the lower class known as the Colonist and the British. Another similarity that can be seen is the financial problem both governments were facing at this time, as well taxes that were being placed. A difference that the French and American revolution had is one of the causes. The French Revolution happened because they wanted to abolish monarchy and wanted to follow the ideas of the enlightenment. However the American revolution or those who were against the British wanted equality and representation. ]]> 2016-11-03 16:24:04 UTC https://padlet.com/349108/s7t0vout9cnl/wish/135146060 349108 https://padlet.com/349108/s7t0vout9cnl/wish/135146208 The Declaration of the Rights of Man was a revolutionary manifesto listing a number of rights held to be common to all people and inalienable.
