can someone help me fill out a chart about france's government?
French : 3 estates effect : The 3 estates consisted of (1) clergy, (2) nobility, (3) the commoners. The 3rd estate had no rights and priviliges unlike the 2nd and 3rd estates. The dissatisfaction of the 3rd estate , who wanted a more equal distribution of wealth and power, was one of the causes of the French Revolution. France : Poverty and Monarchy effect : Before the French Revolution, France was ruled by an absolute monarchy, but the new ideas stemming from the enlightenment included ideas about freedom,the common peoples rights to govern, equality, and other democratic ideals such as religious tolerance, and freedom of speech. The unrest among the classes was caused by these new ideals of government and their intention to improve society and the everyday lives of the people by eliminating the extreme poverty, unemployment, and hunger that was present in France before the revolution. This was also a cause of the French Revolution. I am sorry that is all I can do right now....I will come back and work on it tomorrow. I realize these answers are long....I am just not sure what to put....It seems, from just the answers I have done, the effects of these things is what caused the French Revolution.
