Yes i do agreeFrench philosopher one of the most important causes of French Revolution
because they helped in many things like in causes of French Revolution
1. International: struggle for hegemony and Empire outstrips the fiscal resources of the state
2. Political conflict: conflict between the Monarchy and the nobility over the “reform” of the tax system led to paralysis and bankruptcy.
3. The Enlightenment: impulse for reform intensifies political conflicts; reinforces traditional aristocratic constitutionalism, one variant of which was laid out in Montequieu’s Spirit of the Laws; introduces new notions of good government, the most radical being popular sovereignty, as in Rousseau’s Social Contract [1762]; the attack on the regime and privileged class by the Literary Underground of “Grub Street;” the broadening influence of public opinion.
4. Social antagonisms between two rising groups: the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie
5. Ineffective ruler: Louis XVI
6. Economic hardship, especially the agrarian crisis of 1788-89 generates popular discontent and disorders caused by food shortages.
Or
The clergy and the nobility led a
luxurious life and enjoyed many privileges by birth. While the peasants
and the labourers lived very hard life.They had to pay heavy taxes.
Louis XVI spent lots of money on
luxurious living and wasteful festivities. The high posts were generally
auctioned which caused inefficiency in the administration.
Long years of war had drained the financial resources of France. To meet the expenses,the state was forced to increase taxes that also irked the people of France.
Louis XVI called together an assembly os Estates General to pass proposals for new taxes.This proved to be immediate cause of the French revolution.
