Answer;
- The society of France was divided into three estates, but only the third estate carried the burden of paying the taxes.
- The kingdom was ruled by a monarch, meaning the citizens had no right to vote and the ruler was selected only because he was born in the royal family.
- When Louis XVI ascended the throne, he inherited an empty treasury. Furthermore, he helped freeing the thirteen American colonies from the British, causing a debt of over two billion livres.
- Because of this, he decided to increase the taxes to be paid, which was not acceptable to the third estate.
- On 14 July 1789, he ordered troops to move into Paris. Rumor spread that they were going to attack the citizens, and so in fear, they gathered and revolted. It was during this revolt that the Bastille was stormed and destroyed.
- When the meeting of the Estate Generals was called, he refused to proposal of letting each member have one vote, which led to the representatives of the third estate leaving the meeting and declaring themselves to be the country's National Assembly and which finally resulted in the formation of France's constitution.
I hope this helps, pal! :D
