The French Revolution

1. The People in France were critical of:

The Nobility:
1). The Nobles had Complete Control of authorities.
2). They Didnt hae to do Military Service.
3). The Nobles didnt have to pay taxes.

The Kings:
1). The Kings had all control of France.
2). They hadn't called Parliment since 1614.
3). They had control through Ministers local officials.

The Clergy:
1). The Peseants had to pay big tax to the church.
2). The Church didnt pay tax.
3). The King ruled Clergy

2. A French Peseant might hae Grumbled about the Revolution and the fall of the Bastille in 1789. That day on July 14th, the French revolted against the Nobles and took control.

3.The Cartoon shown on Source A , shows a French peseant carrying 2 Nobles. The caption below it says "One Hopes This Will End Soon". The Point of the cartoon is that the nobles were taking advantage of the Peseants and ruling them, and the peseants wanted this unfair french governments ways to stop, and to stop ruining their lives through oer prices taxes and military service and clergy.

4.The author shows in Source B the life of a peseant as poor, not wealthy, small land owning, too much tax paying people. The peseants had to pay tax to King by giing them ther chickens and eggs and weat. The peseants wanted the crushing of taxes to stop.

5. Yes Sources A,B,and C show how the French Peseant resented the rich. The rich owned lots of land and didnt pay tax and didnt have to worry about Military service and had lots of food they took from Peasents. The French Peseants had to pay enormous taxes and had small land and had to do military service and it was unfair.

6.The French Peseants would be most influenced by Roussea for speaking and saying the peseants needed a better fair form of Government. The French Peseants needed fair equality instead of inequality and unfairness.

7. The Nobles were probably the ones who banned Rousseas writings because if they wouldve released it to the peseants the nobles would have had to do the things peseants were to do and the nobles were filthy rich and didnt have to do anything now so they wouldve banned it.
