The peasants and bourgeoisies of the Third Estate were enraged that they had to pay all the tax.
We are paying too much tax and our children are almost starving!
In the old town of Paris...
The King needs to fix this fast! What are the royals even doing?
Meanwhile, King Louis XVI and Queen Marie spent a tremendous amount of money and held feasts and balls, which took a part in France's financial crisis.
The First (clergy) and Second (nobles) enjoyed their luxuries also, without paying tax. This enraged the Third Estate even more.
Revolutionary ideas were beginning to come out and the Third Estate created the National Assembly with bourgeoisies in lead.
The National Assembly finallymanaged to draft a Constitution of 1791 after all chaos.
Why should we be the ones to pay all the tax and get no political rights?
We should stand up and fight for our rights!
When the Estates-General(parliament) got overwhelmed by the revolutionaries and eventually locked them out of the meetings, the National Assembly pledged to not disband until they came up with a new Constitution (Tennis Court Oath).
The National Assembly raided the Bastille prison to get more weapons and gunpowder. The tricolor flag of the modern day France was adopted after this.
On 1789, they approved the Declaration of the Rights of Man.
King Louis accepted the new Constitution on later on and agreed on having constitutional monarchy with 3 branches of government. France was finally in a peaceful state, at least for that short amount of time.
