Unlike modern assemblies the Estates General did not meet regularly; instead, it was summoned occasionally by the king, often in times of war or crisis. The Estates General had no sovereign or legislative power, its role was to advise or support the king. The first Estates General was gathered by King Philip IV in 1302, in the midst of a conflict with the Pope. During the 15th and 16th centuries the Estates General was convened sporadically, usually when the king sought the political, financial or military support of the Three Estates. The last Estates General before the French Revolution was held in 1614. It was not convened during the 72-year reign of Louis XIV, who considered the Estates General unnecessary in an age of absolute monarchical power, or his successor Louis XV. When Louis XVI summoned the Estates General for 1789, many considered it a revolution, a sign that his monarchical power had collapsed.

His only real political power at this time lay in the Jacobin Club, which had extended itself beyond the borders of Paris and into the country as a network of "Popular Societies". In addition to widespread reaction to the Reign of Terror, Robespierre's tight personal control of the military, his distrust of military might and of banks, and his opposition to supposedly corrupt individuals in government, made him the subject of a number of conspiracies. The conspiracies came together on 9 Thermidor (when members of the national bodies of the revolutionary government arrested Robespierre as well as the leaders of the Paris city government.In an attempt to slander his reputation in the eyes of the general population, his adversaries would often refer to him as a "tyrant" or a "monster", supporting this allegation with the fact that the French Revolution had destroyed the prosperity of the French people.

The committee of mass safety

In Massachusetts, as affairs drew toward a crisis, it became usual for towns to appoint three committees: of correspondence, of inspection, and of safety. The first was to keep the community informed of dangers either legislative or executive, and concert measures of public good; the second to watch for violations of non-importation agreements, or attempts of loyalists to evade them; the third to act as general executive while the legal authority was in abeyance. In February 1776 these were regularly legalized by the Massachusetts General Court but consolidated into one called the "Committee of Correspondence, Inspection, and Safety" to be elected annually by the towns.

levee en masse

In response to the dangers of foreign war, the Committee of public safety established a mass conscription (Levée en Masse) and succeeded in training an army of about 800,000 soldiers in less than a year. This was much larger than any army available to other European states, and laid the basis for Napoleon's domination of Europe. In addition to bringing out the creativity of the Committee of Public Safety, the Levée en Masse represents a turning point in the history of warfare.

Identify the factors behind the revolutions in the late 18th century.

So factors behind the revolutions of the late 18th century are that the American revolution and its success inspired the French to question authority and how things are done, eventually leading to revolt and revolution. The British taxed many people without representation or with out an reason except to pay for debts and that of your social status. Since the French helped the colonies become America and defeat Britain , the British had a grudge against the French. In France the revolution was because the French peasants were starving due to the lack of government intervention with the price of goods. Not only that but many people believed that the monarchs were spending to much time, money and energy on buying expensive clothes, chocolates and other luxuries. When the peasants saw their families thin and sickly form the lack of food as well as heard their own stomachs growl, while in their eyes the nobles are stuffing them selves silly and buying yet another dress for yet another party, this upset many people and played a key role in the development of the French Revolution. Another factor was the Women's riot which was on October 5 some 7000 women March 12 miles from Paris to versus styles demand action. This great crowd invited the national assembly. Interrupting a delegate speech an old woman to finally shut at the debate "who's that talking up there? Make that chatterbox shut up. That's not the point: the point is we want bread quote.

First Estate

The First Estate contained around 130,000 ordained members of the Catholic church: from archbishops and bishops down to parish priests, monks, friars and nuns. The First Estate occupied a prestigious place in the social order. Belief in God, religion and the afterlife dominated late 18th century Europe, so for ordinary people the church and its clergy were the only avenues for understanding or accessing God and the afterlife. The church, therefore, had an ideological stronghold over the people and was an integral part of France's social and political framework. Religion underpinned royal authority by reinforcing the king's divine right to the throne. Higher clergy, such as a cardinals and archbishops, served as political advisors to the king. The state gave the Catholic church a virtual monopoly over religious matters; there were no other approved religions in France. The church was responsible for social policy and welfare and also carried out some functions of state. Its clergy conducted and registered marriages, baptisms and funerals; they delivered education to children and distributed charity to the poor. In rural areas, the local parish priest (or curé) was both a central figure and an influential leader in his community.

Explain how the French Revolution took a radical turn entailing terror at home and war with Europe.

The French Revolution took a radical turn entailing Terror at home and war with Europe because The success of French armies of the committee of Public Safety to relax emergency economic controls, can he extended the political banter. In March 1790 for the revolution tribunal since many of its could accident. The French revolution showed people that it was possible threefold against the correct monarchy or any corrupt government . However many people during the French Revolution with very scared about the outcome. Even if they want to change no matter how badly they want to do it they were still afraid that the revolutionary leaders might become just as bad as they currently are leaders. Many people put aside to believe and help the revolutionary costs believing that anything to be a good change no matter what the cost. Others still supported the monarchy because they are asked scared about the new revolution. If they stay with the morning at least they would know what is going to happen even if the last remaining happy. This shows how the French revolution took a radical turn entailing war at home and terror with Europe.

Second Estate

The Second Estate contained France's nobility: the men and women who possessed aristocratic titles like Baron or Chevalier. A noble title was not just an honorific: it also endowed its owner with certain rights and privileges, most notably an exemption from personal taxes. Not all noble titles were of equal status. The nobility, like the clergy, had its own natural hierarchy. Court nobles (those closest to the monarch) were the most prestigious. The noblesse d'epee ('nobles of the sword') earned their titles through military service, so considered themselves of greater importance. The noblesse de robe ('nobles of the robe') were granted their noble titles for non-military service, for their work as financiers, administrators, magistrates or court officials. Hundreds of men also acquired titles venally, by purchasing them from the crown rather than having them bestowed for service. Venality allowed wealthier members of the Third Estate to join the ranks of the Second Estate. In total, the Second Estate made up between one and one and a half per cent of the population.

The September Massacres

The September Massacres were a wave of killings in Paris and other cities in late summer 1792, during the French Revolution. There was a fear that foreign and royalist armies would attack Paris and that the inmates of the city's prisons would be freed and join them. Radicals called for preemptive action, especially journalist Jean-Paul Marat, who called on draftees to kill the prisoners before they could be freed The action was undertaken by mobs of National Guardsmen and some fédérés; it was tolerated by the city government, the Paris Commune, which called on other cities to follow suit. By 6 September, half the prison population of Paris had been summarily executed: some 1200 to 1400 prisoners. Of these, 233 were nonjuring Catholic priests who refused to submit to the Civil Constitution of the Clergy. However, the great majority of those killed were common criminals. The massacres were repeated in many other French cities. No one was prosecuted for the killings, but the political repercussions first injured the Girondists seemed too moderate. and later the Jacobins seemed too bloodthirsty.

Third Estate

The Third Estate was by far the largest of these, containing around 27 million people or 98 per cent of the nation. The Third Estate included every French citizen who did not possess a noble title and was not ordained by the church. As might be expected within such a large group, the Third Estate was marked by considerable diversity. It housed many different classes and levels of wealth; many different professions and ideas; rural, urban and provincial people alike. Members of the Third Estate ranged from lowly beggars and struggling peasants to urban artisans and labourers; from the shopkeepers and commercial middle classes to the nation's wealthiest merchants and capitalists. Despite its enormous size and importance to the nation, the Third Estate was politically disregarded and economically exploited by the Ancien Régime. The frustrations, grievances and sufferings of the Third Estate ultimately gave rise to the French Revolution.

Anti-Federalists

The anti-federalist were people who did not believe in a strong central government that would be divided into three different branches executive legislative and judicial branch. The opponents of the proposed Constitution charge that the framers of the new document had taken too much power from the individual state and made the federal government to strong they said this and remembering the previous ruler, the king of England, and fear that their New country would end up being too much like a monarchy. To overcome these objections the federalist promised to spell out that these basic freedoms as soon as the new constitution was adopted. The result of all this was the first 10 admittance to the constitution which the first Congress passed shortly after they met in New York in March 1789. And effective Bill of Rights was formed to safeguard the individual person and set the anti-federalist to rest. Not only did the Bill of Rights is the minds of unsettle people in our country but are also proclaimed other rights that shape our country today. Freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom of religion reflected natural law theory and a strong values colonist had placed on the independence from the start.

Coercive Acts (Intolerable Acts)

The coercive acts were a series of different laws passed by British Parliament in order to punish the colonists for the Boston Tea Party. The Boston Teah party in 1773 was due to the tea act of that year which the British government permitted the financially hard hard-pressed East India Company to ship tea from China directly to its agents in the colonies rather than through London middle men, who sold to independent merchants in the colonies, thus the company secured a profitable monopoly on the tea trade, and colonial merchants or excluded. The price antique was actually lowered for colonists but the act generated a great deal of opposition because of its impact on local merchants. Responding to the Tea acts Boston men disguised as indigenous people the Native Americans and staged a rowdy protest that will be later known as the tea party and they boarded East India Company ships and threw tea from them to the harbor in response, the so-called intolerable acts of 1774 close the port of Boston curtailed local elections and expanded royal government's power. Some people in the British colonies urged that the acts were to be "rejected as the attempts of a wicked administration to enslave America". Other people believed that the British were right and joined the denunciations of the colonies. This led to the first Continental Congress created in September 1774. This Congress consisted of colonial delegates who sought at first to peacefully resolve conflicts with Britain they met in Philadelphia.

Explain why and how American colonists forged a new, independent nation

The colonists wanted to be independent because they were tired of the British authorities raising taxes on the colonies while not allowing the colonists to have an equal representation in Parliament or allowing colonists to have the same rights as British subjects. Despite the colonists' talks with Britain, nothing changed, and the people of the colonies moved towards independence. After the British government raised taxes once again with, the Stamp Act of 1765, the Townshend Tariffs of 1767 and the Tea Act of 1773, the colonists asked for additional representation and equal rights, but were denied. Immediately, the colonial resistance started following the Boston Massacre in 1770 and the Boston Tea Act in 1773. The First Continental Congress was created in September of 1774 with George Washington, Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry and John Jay present. The group met in Philadelphia, and while they did not demand independence, they did demand representation if there was to be taxation and additional rights that they did not have.

How did the events of 1789 result in a constitutional monarch in France? Describe the consequences.

The events of 1789 resulted in a constitutional monarch in France because they showed the common people, ( who during this time were at the majority but still had the least amount of say in many problems, hence the third estate) how unjust their environment was or at the least, to push the common people to speak out and voice their own opinions. In 1798 there was the estates General meeting at Versailles, third estate declares itself the national assembly, the tennis court oath, the storming of the Bastille, the Great Fear, the abolishment of feudal privileges, the declaration of the rights of man and citizen, woman march Versailles and the royal family returns to Paris, and the National Assembly confiscates church land. The third estate was also a big factor in the result of a constitutional monarch in France. The Third Estate was by far the largest of the estates general, containing around 27 million people or 98 per cent of the nation. The Third Estate included every French citizen who did not possess a noble title and was not ordained by the church. As might be expected within such a large group, the Third Estate was marked by considerable diversity. It housed many different classes and levels of wealth; many different professions and ideas; rural, urban and provincial people alike. Members of the Third Estate ranged from lowly beggars and struggling peasants to urban artisans and labourers; from the shopkeepers and commercial middle classes to the nation's wealthiest merchants and capitalists. Despite its enormous size and importance to the nation, the Third Estate was politically disregarded and economically exploited by the Ancien Régime. The frustrations, grievances and sufferings of the Third Estate ultimately gave rise to the French Revolution. The storming of Bastille because Economic hardship grip the common people, conditions were already tough due to the government debt disastrous financial situation. A poor grain harvest in the 1788 cause the price of bread to store, and inflation spread quickly through the economy. As a result demand for manufactured goods collapsed, and many artesian is and small tray just left work. Against this back on the property and political crisis people Paris entered decisively to revolutionary stage. They believe that, to survive they should have steady work and enough bread at fair prices. They also feared that the dismissal of kings liberal finance minister would put them at the mercy of aristocracy. On July 14, 1789 several hundred people storm to pass the tile and Royal present to obtain weapons for the cities defense due to the knowledge of the spreading of the massive troops near Paris. This represents how the people, the common people, feared for their lives and for their Rights as human beings, they were worried about the countries economic state and what state that would leave then. They were also worried that they would not have any say in anything anymore due to the dismissal of the 3rd estate. Face with popular violence Louis soon announce the reinstatement of his finance minister and withdrawal of troops from Paris. The national assembly was not free to continue work. Peasants for the brunt of state taxation church that is and no privileges. Since most not on enough land to be self-sufficient they were hard hit by the rising prices bread. The deceleration on the rights of man As the great fear was spreading the national assembly responded to the Swelha popular uprising what does surprise maneuver on the night of August 4 and 79.

First and Second Continental Congress

The first Continental Congress was A direct result of the intolerable acts, this Congress consisted of colonial delegates who sought at first to peacefully resolve conflicts with Britain. The first Continental Congress met in Philadelphia. The more radical members of the Assembly argued successfully against concessions to the English crown. Despite many efforts the British Parliament rejected compromise and in April 1775 fighting between colonial in British troops began at Lexington and Concord. As the American revolution started and spread throughout the colonies the British government and its use of mercenaries did much to dissolve loyalties to home country and unite the separate colonies. English radical Thomas Paine published common sense that was a brilliant attack to the British this chapbook also mobilized public opinion in favor of independence. And his call for freedom and republican government, Thomas Paine expressed Americans growing sense of separateness of moral superiority. In 1776 on July 4 the second Continental Congress adopted did the declaration of independence written by Thomas Jefferson Alexander Hamilton and others this document fully listed the tyrannical acts committed by the British and confidently proclaimed the natural rights of man tied of American states. The declaration of independence found in our country and in effect universalized the traditional rights of English people and made them the rights of all man kind. It's stated that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights that among these are life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. No other American political document has ever caused such excitement either at home or abroad.

National Assembly

The first French revolutionary legislature, made up primarily of representatives of the third estate and a from the nobility and clergy, in session from 1789to 1791. The national assembly was a response to the estates general, the government granted the third estate as many delegates as the clergy and the nobility combined with the nullified to reform a granting one vote per state instead of one vote per person. This meant that to privileges states could always about the third. And angry response in June 1789 delegates of the third estate refused to meet until the king ordered the clergy and ability to sit with them in the single body. On June 17 33rd estate, which of been joined by few parish priests, voted to call itself the national assembly. On June 20 excluded from the hall because of repairs the delegates move to a large indoor tennis court. Here at this abandon tennis court this war this famous tennis court oath, putting out to disband until they had been recognized as the national assembly and had written a new constitution. On June 20 delegate to the 30th date arrived at the meeting hall inverse Liles palace defined the doors closed and guarded. Searing the king without to dissolve the meeting by force the deputies read reassembled at a nearby tennis court and sore the solemn oath not to disperse and deliver recognize as National Assembly. Aren't you June 23 the king of England had made a speech urging reforms and 40s later he ordered the three estates to meet together. During this time it was also said that he filed advice of relatives in court noble to urge him to dissolve the assembly by force it. The king called an army of 18,000 troops with the capital to bring the delicates under control and on July 11 he dismisses finance minister and other more the liberal ministers.
