Explanation:

on the morning of 14 July 1789 the city of Paris was in a state of alarm . the king had commanded drops to move into the city rumours spread that he would soon order the army to offer a fire upon the citizens

so 7000 gathered infront of the town hall and decided to form a people's militia. In the armed fight , the commander of the Bastille was killed and the prisoners were released though there were only 7 of them . The Bastille was hated by everyone because it stood for the despotic power of the king .

then the fortress was demolished and the stone fragments were sold in the market to all those who wished to keep a souvenir of its destruction.
