Question

10th class social . What was the main aim of french revolution

Answer 1

It is difficult to suggest that there was any one cause of the French Revolution. The purpose, however, was clear: overthrow of the monarchy. The gradual growth of a revolutionary movement was the result of multiple factors, with the financial crises stemming from French involvement in North American conflicts certainly contributing. It would be an injustice to the study of history, however, to conclude that a revolution years in the making was attributable primarily to those financial burdens, considerable though they were. Rather, an argument can be made that the ideals associated with the Age of Enlightenment were the principle causes of the revolution of 1788. Those ideals, including equality, liberty, constitutionalism, and other hallmarks of a liberal society stood in stark contrast to the reigning monarchy, personified by King Louis XVI and his spouse, Queen Antoinette, the latter historically synonymous with autocratic disregard for the welfare of one's subject.

Answer 2

The following are the main aims of the French Revolution:

1. End of Monarchy: the French revolution aimed at ending the autocratic government and to establish the democratic government.

2. Religious freedom: prior to the revolution the common people could not follow their religion so, the revolutionaries aimed at achieving the religious freedom for people.

3. Taxes:  prior to the French revolution two first two estates were exempted to pay taxes, therefore, the revolutionaries wanted to end this system of tax collection only by the third estate.

4. Equality: the revolutionaries wanted to create a nation which can stand for equality, liberty and fraternity.
