France was divided into three estates or public classes of society. It was a very Catholic country, with King Louis XVI in charge. King Louis XVI was the grandson of Louis XV and the great-great-great-grandson of Louis XIV. The First Estate consisted of the clergy and the Church, the Second Estate consisted of the nobles, and the Third Estate included the commoners. The wealthy did not have to pay taxes. There was short land to live on because the First and Second Estates owned most of it. Commoners could only use the nobles' land if they paid fees. Kings continued to spend tax money on themselves rather than on public needs, Which resulted in Commoners struggling to pay for food due to heavy taxes, often eating bread mixed with sawdust. They saw how Americans overthrew their government and established a democracy, which inspired them to seek fair representation in the Estates General. Making only 15-20 cents a day, even when wages rose to 25 cents, the cost of rent and groceries soared to 60 cents per day, making life very hard. Not affected by paying all the taxes, the king used the funds for his benefit. The Third Estate felt frustrated by their lack of representation and rights. When they took the Tennis Court Oath, they promised to stick together until a fair constitution was made against the king's control. Still, The upper estates (clergy and nobles) disliked the National Assembly and the Tennis Court Oath because they didn't want to lose their right and power. The new constitution would give more power to the common people, taking away the control that the First and Second Estates had.

Louis XVI placed military troops around the Palace of Versailles and in cities to prevent uprisings, causing commoners to feel the need to arm themselves. This created fear that the National Assembly would be separated and was seen as an attack on their rights. In response, commoners rose against the soldiers at the Bastille, freeing political prisoners and gaining weapons from the armory. The Women's March on the Palace of Versailles happened because people were angry over the high price of bread. There were rumors that Queen Marie Antoinette was collecting wheat. Thousands of women, armed and resolute, walked six hours to the palace to demand an audience with the King and Queen. The march was fueled by frustration over the queen's luxury spending while commoners struggled. The King and Queen were forced to return to Paris with the crowd, which grew from 7,000 to 60,000 people. They never returned to Versailles. This event was justice from the view of the commoners who were hopeless and starving, feeling ignored by their rulers. After the Women's March, France made a second attempt at a stable government, aiming for a constitutional monarchy where King Louis XVI would work with the people. However, this government did not last long because the royal family tried to destroy it with the help of other monarchs. In a close vote, the legislative body decided to execute Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. The legislative government failed due to weak leadership and the challenge of shifting to a government without a monarchy. Robespierre, one of the leaders of the National Assembly, aimed to balance life between the First and Second Estates, leading France into its third government, the First Republic, a form of government that is reperdtantiver based on population, He supported the people's rights with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity" and attempted to establish elected officials, marking the first time France had a government without a direct ruler. His push for what he believed was necessary for creating the Republic led to the Reign of Terror.

The Directory ruled France from 1795 to 1799. It had two parts: an upper house and a lower house. The lower house suggested laws, and the upper house could accept or reject them. The Directory struggled because it was corrupt and less important. People lost trust in the government. There were also threats from the king or queen, which made it hard for the Directory to govern well. Napoleon's political changes had deep impacts on France. The Napoleonic Code made laws clearer and showed equality before the law, By eliminating the Estate System, he created a more beneficial society and reduced social stresses. Allowing freedom of religion reduces religious conflicts and protects people's right to have their beliefs peacefully. Carrying a centralized government made the government balanced in France after the revolution's chaos. His education improved learning and created more educated people, giving to the country’s education. Improving relations with the Pope helped to unite the country by gaining the support of the religious people. Finally, selling the Louisiana Territory to the U.S. provided important funds for military campaigns, which supported France and allowed Napoleon to focus on European domination. Napoleon's legacy is marked by France's power over Continental Europe. He established his rulers in conquered nations, even making his brother the king of Spain.
