4. #7 Chapter 3.2 The French Revolution Unfolds What political and social reforms did the National Assembly institute in the first stage of the French Revolution?

5. Starving peasants took out their anger on the nobles • Many factions, or dissenting groups of people, struggled for power • Moderates looked to the Marquis de Lafayette for leadership, but a more radical group, the Paris Commune, took over the city’s government

6. Revolt • The storming of the Bastille along with the peasant revolts forced the National Assembly to act • Nobles gave up their privileges • In late August, the Assembly issued the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen • It proclaimed that all male citizens were equal • However, it did not grant equal rights to women • Journalist Olympe de Gouges wrote a declaration that did, but the Assembly did not accept it

7. In the meantime, the king hesitated to accept reforms • His queen, Marie Antoinette, angered many for spending money while people starved • Thousands of women marched to Versailles, where the royal family lived, and demanded the king to return to Paris

8. The National Assembly soon drafted the Constitution of 1791, which reflected Enlightenment goals, stating that all male citizens were equal under the law, and placing the Church under state control • Events in France caused debate all over Europe; some praised the reforms while rulers feared the French Revolution and worried that the rebellion would spread

9. What were some attempted improvements? • The horror stories told by French emigres who fled the revolution added to the fear • In October 1791, the newly elected Legislative Assembly took power but did little to improve conditions • Working class men and women called sans-culottes pushed for a more radical action

10. Some demanded a republic • The Jacobins, a revolutionary political club, supported the sans-culottes • The radicals soon controlled the Legislative Assembly • They were eager to spread the revolution and declared war against Austria and other European monarchies
