In 1789, French elites refused taxation without representation; attacked despotism, or arbitrary authority; and offered an Enlightenment-inspired program to rejuvenate the nation.
Identify and explain ONE aspect of the French Revolution that would support the argument concerning revolutionary ideas made in the second passage.
When you compare the beginning of the Revolution and the end of it (the great terror), you see two completely different worlds. In the first, you see that the people simply wish to be given fairness in exchange for their work, while in the end, they wish to rule themselves, and have become crazed against those who would even think otherwise.
Identify and explain ONE assumption that the author of the first passage would make about the causes and importance of the French Revolution that would not be shared by the author of the second passage.
The first author may have assumed the unity of the people, the middle class and the lower class, while the second author may not have seen that, but instead seen them as just arising to the needs they had.
