The French Revolution

1. a. The French people were critical of their nobility because the nobles were treated diffently than others. Everybody had diferent kind of respect. All nobles had authority over the peasants and therefore peasants had to do all the hard for them. They didnt have to join the military. the nobles had the luxurious life in chateaux.

b. The officials an d the ministers ruled evrything. They rule all of France and the parliament.

c. The clergy is the first estate. They are alike to the nobles. Both had the same type of power. They dont need to pay taxes. The only difference is that they belong to the church.

2. A French peasant would have to grumble about having less land. Having less money. Having to pay taxes and paying for food.

3. The pictures shows a peasent carrying a federal lord plus the Clergy. This means that the peasant has to do everything the clergy and federal lord says.

4. The woman would be complaining about the male not having enough stuff. they would have enough food, land,or money. They couldnt have enough money because they had to pay taxes to the federal lord and clergy. So pretty musch their life's were really bad.

5. Yes, because they were treated like worthless peple. The clergy and the nobles had the better lives. They didnt have to do as much work as the peasants. The peasants didnt get there income taxes. The peasants resented against the richer.

6. The peasants would be most influenced by the Rousseau. They would more influence because the peasants would like to have their own freedom. They would like to make their own laws and not be ruled by others. Peasants would agree to this democratic system.

7. I think that the pamphet was banned because the higher class people wouldnt like to let the peasants have more freedom. The clergy and the nobles would banned this pamphet because they wouldnt have to live a hard life the peasants. They want to be in charge of other people so they could live a better life. This is why the Pamphet was banned.
