French Revolution:Social Causes

The French Revolution began in 1789 and ended in 1799.The French revolution was caused by many factors.Such as desputes between social classes, unfair taxing,power abuses,feudalism,oppresion and the wrongful managenment of the french society.
There were three estates int the french revolution.The first estate was the church.This estate was equal in social and econic terms.Also in spiritual power.The second estate was nobility,they were less than 2% in population and enjoyed extensive rights and privilges.Both of these estates didnt pay any taxes.The third and last estate were the commoners.They were made up of the middle class(bourgeoisie),peasents, and the city workers.This estate felt very used because they were forced to pay allthe taxes tithes to the church, and pay rent to their lanlords.The enlightenment had a very big influence on the french revolution because the enlightenment days were very unfair.The french seen that the philosiphers from the enlightenment fought for what they believed in ,so that's what the fench decided to do.The last straw that lead to the french revolution were the major differences and discrimination between the three groups.Also the economic problems,lack of money(because of wars),and even farming harvest!!On July 14th,1789 there was a huge bomb that hit Bastille due to the french revolution.The people of paris were afraid that their representatives would be attacked by the military ,so they decided to take action and stormed/bombed Bastille.Soon after,on August 26th,the Declaraion of the rights oof man and of citizens was proclaimed.
