Question

Explain in the context of French Society by giving two relevant point​

Answer 1

Answer:

The French Revolution had a major impact on Europe and the New World. Historians widely regard the Revolution as one of the most important events in history.[1][2][3] In the short-term, France lost thousands of its countrymen in the form of émigrés, or emigrants who wished to escape political tensions and save their lives. A number of individuals settled in the neighboring countries (chiefly Great Britain, Germany, Austria, and Prussia), however quite a few also went to the United States. The displacement of these Frenchmen led to a spread of French culture, policies regulating immigration, and a safe haven for Royalists and other counterrevolutionaries to outlast the violence of the French Revolution. The long-term impact on France was profound, shaping politics, society, religion and ideas, and polarizing politics for more than a century.

The closer other countries were, the greater and deeper was the French impact, bringing liberalism and the end of many feudal or traditional laws and practices.[4][5] However, there was also a conservative counter-reaction that defeated Napoleon, reinstalled the Bourbon kings, and in some ways reversed the new reforms.[6]

Answer 2

Answer:

• Mid-18th Century France was formally divided into three legal categories known as "Estates." Included in the First Estate were members of the clergy; in the Second, the nobility; and in the Third, the rest of the population. Members of the First and Second Estates enjoyed many privileges – among them, immunity from taxation, a monopoly over offices, and entitlements of various pensions, all of which had the effect of placing a great burden on the Third Estate to support the monarchy and clergy
• .The National Constituent Assembly, one of the first ruling bodies of the newly reconstituted French nation, drafted a document known as the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen. It was adopted in full in August of 1789, and was considered a first step toward a French Constitution.
