The French Revolution was the result of the many problems that France faced during the middle ages. Historians are still unable to pin-point the exact reason for the ten year revolution. However, there have been historical evidences found that may have caused this event. During the 1700’s, France had a very bad economic system which resulted to burden its citizen with an inequitable
system of taxation. Also during this time, resentment, as it seems, ruled the hearts of the people. Peasants and the bourgeoisie both resented Manorialism in France. The citizens also detested the religious intolerance and royal absolutism. Nobles enjoy various privileges and dominated France during this time, this of course was frowned upon by the less fortunate but ambitious French citizens. The
Enlightenment Age also played a big role in the culmination of the French Revolution.
The social system in France made it certain that the nobles and the clergies above all the rest of the French citizen, even though some “regular” citizen had more wealth and reputation than the nobles. Bearing such titles, these noblemen had
tax exemptions, and were placed above the law. The French Revolution was a battle for equality and the elimination of oppression by the upper class to the lower class.
