  12. NATIONAL ASSEMBLY Estates-General at the Palace of Versailles First established in 1302, the Estates-General was a French legislative body comprising members of the three groups, or estates, of French society: nobility, clergy, and commoners. It is shown here as called on May 5, 1789, by King Louis XVI, at the Palace of Versailles, in a desperate attempt to stave off civil unrest. However, the Estates-General voted to make itself a permanent National Assembly. Louis's efforts to repress the new assembly caused widespread rioting and ushered in the French Revolution.

  13. STORMING OF BASTILLE They broke open the gates And freed all prisoners. The mob entered the palace and ransacked it Fall of the Bastille On 14 July, 1789, the prison of the Bastille was stormed by a mob, for whom it represented the despotic power of the hated Bourbon monarchy.

  14. DRAFTING OF CONSTITUTION During the night session of August 4, 1789, the clergy, nobles, and bourgeoisie renounced their privileges; a few days later the assembly passed a law abolishing feudal and manorial prerogatives, The assembly then set to grapple with its primary task, the drafting of a constitution. In the constitutional preamble, known in history as the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, . By the terms of the document, the provinces of France were abolished, and the country was divided into departments, each provided with a local elective administrative apparatus. Hereditary titles were outlawed, trial by jury in criminal cases was ordained, and fundamental modification of French law was projected.

  15. REIGN OF TERROR MAXIMILIEN ROBESPIERRE Guillotining of Louis XVI Jacobins, name given to the members of a radical French political club that played a controlling part in the French Revolution. It was founded in 1789 as the Society of Friends of the Constitution; the name Jacobins is derived from the meeting place of the club, a former Jacobin (Dominican) monastery in Paris. The revolutionary leaders Mirabeau and Maximilien Robespierre were early members of the club: they plunged the country into the Reign of Terror, whereby all opposition to the state was ruthlessly suppressed by violence. The Jacobins insisted on the death of the king, destroyed the moderate Girondists, and sent thousands of opponents to their deaths on the guillotine.

  16. RESULTS OF REVOLUTION One direct result of the French Revolution was the abolition of absolute monarchy in France. The Revolution was also responsible for destroying the feudal privileges of the nobles. Serfdom was abolished, Other social and economic reforms initiated during this period included eliminating imprisonment for debt, . The reform and codification of the diverse provincial and local law equality before the law, right of habeas corpus, and provisions for fair trial. Trial procedure provided for a board of judges and a jury for criminal cases: an accused person was deemed innocent until proven guilty, and was guaranteed counsel. An additional area in which the Revolution played an important part was that of religion. The principles of freedom of religion and the press, and civil status for Protestants and Jews. The Revolution paved the way also for separation of Church and state. The more intangible results of the Revolution were embodied in its watchwords, “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity”. These ideals became the platform of liberal reforms in France and Europe in the 19th century and remain the present-day keywords of democracy.
