In the summer of 1792, the Jacobins planned an insurrection of a large number of Parisians who were angered by the short supply and high prices of food. On the morning of August 10, they stormed the palace of Tuileries, massacred the king’s guards and held the king hostage for several hours. Later the Assembly voted to imprison the royal family. Elections were held. From now on, all men of 21 years and above regardless of wealth, got the right to vote.

In due course of the French Revolution, all the subjects and the people of the king's reign were opposing him and the policies. This led to the king accepting the Constitution of 1791, made by the National Assembly. According to it the voting rights were given to the citizens.
