Question

How France became a Republic? What were the efforts of the Jacobins?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

• After the French Revolution of 1789, the powers of the king were reduced and France became a constitutional monarchy. Because the powers of King Louis XVI were reduced, he asked for help from the Prussian and Austrian monarchies.Monarchy was abolished and France became a republic.
• The Jacobins supported the rights of property, but represented a much more middle-class position than the government which succeeded them in Thermidor. Their economic policy established the General maximum, in order to control prices and create stability both for the workers and poor and the revolution.
