The assembly stood firmly by the king, and the meeting was followed by a nationwide survey of public opinion. In 1308 the three estates were assembled in Tours to consider the suppression of the Templars, and they were convened repeatedly over subsequent years, notably after Louis X’s death in 1316, when the royal succession and fiscal matters dominated the agenda]]> 2017-12-07 15:31:15 UTC https://padlet.com/shanamayne2020/sav5ilanhwcv/wish/214163313 shanamayne2020 https://padlet.com/shanamayne2020/sav5ilanhwcv/wish/214511169 2017-12-08 14:55:59 UTC https://padlet.com/shanamayne2020/sav5ilanhwcv/wish/214511169 shanamayne2020 https://padlet.com/shanamayne2020/sav5ilanhwcv/wish/214518096 On 14 July 1789, when the Bastille in Paris, France was stormed it only housed seven old prisoners, none of which were politically important. There were even plans to close down the prison because it was so costly to maintain, for such a small purpose. The regular garrison that was posted there consisted of a bunch of “invalided,” veteran soldiers who were no longer seen as fit for battle. The King didn’t even know about this event until the next day and while 90 attackers died in the battle, only one defender died before the surrender. So why is the Storming of the Bastille then seen as such an important event that it has become the most important French national day?]]> 2017-12-08 15:08:37 UTC https://padlet.com/shanamayne2020/sav5ilanhwcv/wish/214518096 shanamayne2020 https://padlet.com/shanamayne2020/sav5ilanhwcv/wish/214523791 The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (French: Déclaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen), passed by France's National Constituent Assembly in August 1789, is an important document of the French Revolution and in the history of human and civil rights.]]> 2017-12-08 15:20:37 UTC https://padlet.com/shanamayne2020/sav5ilanhwcv/wish/214523791 shanamayne2020 https://padlet.com/shanamayne2020/sav5ilanhwcv/wish/214526486 The U.S. Constitution established America's national government and fundamental laws, and guaranteed certain basic rights for its citizens.

The first victim was Marie Antoinette. She had been imprisoned with her children after she was separated from Louis.

Born on the island of Corsica, Napoleon rapidly rose through the ranks of the military during the French Revolution (1789-1799).
