Chapter 23
Section 1-The French Revolution Begins
The Old Order
• The Old Regime-The
social and political
system in France
during the 1700’s
– The people were
divided into three large
classes called estates
The Old Order
• The First Estate– Made up of members of the clergy of
the Roman Catholic Church
– Scorned Enlightenment Ideas
• The Second Estate– Made up of rich Nobles who held the
highest offices in government
– Disagreed about Enlightenment ideas
The Old Order
• The Third Estate– Included bourgeoisie,
urban lower class,
and peasant farmers
– Had no power to
influence government
– Resented the wealthy
First and Second
Estates
The Forces of Change
• Economic Troubles in France– Taxes made it too hard for
merchants and businesses to make
profit
– Factors including the rise in the cost
of living, wide spread crop failures
in the 1780’s, and the price of bread
doubling made life in France hard
– Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette
live extravagantly and piled up
massive debt helping America fight
England
Dawn of the Revolution
• The National Assembly– The Third Estates delegates
were heavily influenced by the
Enlightenment and eager to
make changes in government
• Suggested that all three estates
meet together and that each
delegate should get a vote
(giving them the advantage)
• The Third Estates became the
National Assembly
– This action was the first deliberate
act of revolution
Dawn of the Revolution
• Tennis Court OathThe Third Estate
broke in and promised
to stay in the indoor
tennis court until a
new constitution was
drafted
Dawn of the Revolution
• Storming the Bastille– It took place on July 14th, 1789
– Mobs stormed the prison after rumors
emerged that Louis was using military
forces against the National Assembly
– Attackers killed the prison commander and
several guards
• They put their heads on spikes in the streets
– This became the great symbolic act of
revolution
• Bastille day is celebrated like our 4th of July
The Great Fear Sweeps France
• The Great Fear– Peasants were afraid that the nobles
had hired outlaws to terrorize them
• As a result the peasants went into the
homes of nobles with pitchforks and
farm tools destroying the old legal papers
that forced them to pay federal duties
– After the price of bread rose in Oct.
1789, peasant women rioted and
Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were
forced to leave France
