"Any institution which does not suppose the people good, and the magistrate corruptible, is evil." - Maximilien Robespierre. The french revolution was a period of change that they believed needed to happen after seeing the events of the American Revolution. They wanted to be more equal and to have a bigger voice in their nation. But the revolution was not only about equality it was also about how the people also wanted King Louis XVI gone due to his poor leadership and his lack of good decision-making for not only himself but also for the people. See another key factor for the revolution was also made by King Louis, it was the food and financial crisis. King Louis made himself and the people poor therefore many people not getting enough food. The main idea of the revolution was the idea of change and everyone coming together in order to see that change.

These are the words of Jean-Paul Marat who shared his thoughts on how King Louis XVI ruled before the French Revolution begun. The French Revolution was a time when the citizens that belonged to the third estate, anyone who was not a clergy or monarch, rose up against their king who didn't stand up and take care of his country. While the first and second estates lived with no issue, having full power above the third estate, they left their citizens to suffer through the awful living conditions that France was in. Eventually, the citizens had enough with their king. The radicals all banded together to capture the king and send him to death via public execution with the guillotine. The causes that drove the French people to start a revolution were the financial and food crisis that were happening during King Louis' rule, the weak leadership that the king showed, and how the people took the ideas from the Enlightenment and were able to create a government of their own that was ruled by the people. ]]> 2021-10-07 20:42:10 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/zg237phmas71x67j/wish/1800905957 Ryan Hindi https://padlet.com/slohman/zg237phmas71x67j/wish/1800906057 It is estimated that 40,000 people were beheaded by the guillotine during the time of the French revolution.

Many philosophers at the time, including John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and François-Marie Arouet, or known as Voltaire agreed with the idea that all men were born with natural rights, which includes the rights to life, liberty, and property. Out of all the philosophers that believed in natural rights, John Locke was the earliest of the bunch to write about it, discussing the idea and touching more on the topic in his work titled, “Two Treatises of Civil Government.” The idea of the Social Contract Theory was tied to natural rights, as it had been presented in 196 by Rousseau as a section of it reads,” Through a social contract, an entire society agrees to be governed by its general will.” Basically, the government and the people are accountable on an agreement where if the government is able to protect the people’s rights, the people exchange by giving back power, and if one side fails to follow their exchange, the people can overthrow the government or the government can misuse its power. ]]> 2021-10-07 20:43:13 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/zg237phmas71x67j/wish/1800907415 Ervin Lu https://padlet.com/slohman/zg237phmas71x67j/wish/1800907577 There are significant disagreement among historians of the French Revolution as to its causes.
