Read the passage and answer the following. The king fired financial minister Jacques Necker, for making errors, but he was seen as a representative of the people of France, and people grew worried the king was against the National Assembly. This resulted in mass riots in Paris. The rioters burst into a fort in the center of the city called the Bastille, in an iconic moment in the Revolution called the 'Storming of the Bastille', and raided it for weapons.They then murdered the governor and mayor, accusing them of treason. The king tried go to Paris and pacify the people. But it was too late. All over the country, peasants were rising up violently, and nobles were fleeing to neighboring countries. Worried that the nobles would come back with mercenaries from other countries, the peasants armed themselves and destroyed the nobility's homes.In 1789, the National Assembly, who had essentially taken charge of the government, abolished feudalism-or the old system in which peasants were bound to the land of the nobility-as well as many of the old laws of the country, published a Declaration of the Rights of Man, a document inspired by Thomas Jefferson's writing in America, and began to write a new constitution.In 1791, the king and queen attempted to escape their palace by dressing up as servants, but they were discovered, suspended temporarily from their office, and placed under guard.The revolution turned ugly in 1793, when French citizens executed the king and queen by guillotine. This led to the Reign of Terror, in which the country collapsed into chaos and the Committee of Public Safety, led by Maximilien Robespierre, rounded up and executed tens of thousands of citizens without trial for supposed counter-revolutionary actions. Robespierre was ultimately executed due to a change of power.
