Answers
Answer: ans1--The Constitution of 1791 began with a declaration of the rights of man and citizen. Freedom of speech and expression were enshrined among these rights which were deemed to be natural and inalienable. These were put into practice in everyday life in the following ways:
Censorship was abolished soon after the storming of Bastille in 1789.
In the old regime all written material could be only published after undergoing censorship.
In the new dispensation, newspapers, pamphlets, books and printed pictures flooded the towns and were soon circulated in the countryside in France.
Discussion of events and changes that were occurring in France took place freely.
Opposite views of events were also expressed.

1) maintenance of the palace of versallies
2) fighting of war cost them
3) heavy taxes levied on citizens
ans--3 the representatives of the Third Estate disappointed with the
pattern of voting in the "Estates General.' bcoz
1) as the 1st and 2nd estates were opposing 3rd estate.
2) they should have their right to vote seperately.
ans--4 During the Old Regime, subsistence crisis frequently occurred in France. The reasons that led to subsistence crisis are
(i) The population of France rose from about 23 million in 1715 to 28 million in 1789 which led to a rapid increase in the demand for food grains.
(ii) Production of grains could not keep pace with the increasing demand. So, the price of the foodstuff which made from grains rose rapidly.
(iii) Most workers were employed as labourers on fixed wages. Their wages could not keep pace with the rise in prices.
ans--5 The Tennis Court Oath was significant because it showed the growing unrest against Louis XVI and laid the foundation for later events, including: the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen and the storming of the Bastille.
