Question

Highlight any three political reason behind french revolution

Answer 1

Political causes of French revolution:

Ideas of political philosophers:  Ideas envisaging a society based on freedom and equal laws and opportunities for all, were put forward by philosophers such as John Locke and Jean Jacques Rousseau. In his Two Treatises of Government, Locke sought to refute the doctrine of the divine and absolute right of the monarch. Rousseau carried the idea forward, proposing a form of government based on a social contract between people and their representatives. In The Spirit of the Laws, Montesquieu proposed a division of power within the government between the legislative, the executive and the judiciary. This model of governance was put to function in American government and was set as an example to the French revolutionaries.

Denial of rights: The third estate was represented by  its more prosperous and educated members. Peasants, artisans and women
were denied entry to the assembly

Answer 2

the French Revolution is not only a significant event in the history of Europe but of the entire world. Before the outbreak of the French Revolution, the political, social, and economic conditions were bad, but no revolution in the world ever takes place for any single cause.Even a number of ordinary reasons do not suffice as contributing to the outbreak of revolution. There must be a set of some vital causes at the back of every revolution.The fire of revolution smoldered slowly for a long time and ultimately flared up. A prominent scholar has observed in this connection:"The French Revolution sprang from a combination of intellectual ferment and material grievances; and it was the intellectual ferment that made material grievances more fiercely resented."
