Answer 1

Answer:

Yes social disparity was one of the major reasons for the ruthless revolution in France.

Explanation:

Firstly we need to understand what is meant by social disparity or inequality. Social inequality is the existence of unequal opportunities and rewards for different social positions or statuses within a group or society. The French society was divided in to 3 estates , where 2 estates were given birthright privileges. This led to an outbreak . The clergy and nobility expressed most rights which led to the storming of Bastille. Later when voting rights where established only selected people could vote leaving others without any rights.  Hence we can conclude that  Social disparity was one of the major causes of the French Revolution.
