Who do they think they are. Half the population is dying and they are aren't doing anything about it
How could they?
This is unacceptable!!!
So they decided to swear an oath stating that they would not separate until a new constitution was established. This oath is called the Tennis Coart Oath.
WE DECLARE OURSELVES THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY!
From May till June of 1789, King Louis XVI hadn't done anything to calm the expanding crowd of opposers.
And so in July of 1789, the people of Paris storm to Bastille, a royal prison, for armory and ammunition.
After the National Assembly decreed the abolition of feudalism, they decreed the Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen.
On July of 1791, the Royal family tried to escape out of Paris, they were lucky that the Assembly didn't decide to execute them.
STOP! STOP RIGHT THERE!!
But his luck ran out 1793 when the Assembly had a trial and executed him and Marie Antoinette
