ANSWER

1 → Social Inequality: French society in eighteenth century was divided

into three estates namely The Clergy, The nobility and third estates

which comparises peasants, officials and small business. It was only

third estates only pay taxes. Clergy and nobility were exempt from

taxes.

→ Subsistence Crisis: The population of France also increased from 23

million in 1715 to 28 million in 1789. Food grains were now in great

demand. Price of bread shot up. Wages did not keep pace with rising

prices. This led to subsistence crisis.

→ Economic Problems: Long years of war had drained the financial

resources of France. To meet its regular expenses, such as the cost of

maintainingan army, the court, running government offices or

universities, the state was forced to increase taxes.

→ Strong Middle Class: The middle class emerged educated and

wealthy during eighteenth century. They believed that no group in

society should be given privileges by birth. Ideas of equality and

freedom were put forward by philosphers. The ideas of these

philosophers were discussed intensively in salons and coffee houses

and spread among people. → Immediate Causes: On 5 may, 1789, Louis

XVI called together an assembly os Estates General to pass proposals

for new taxes. Third estates protested against this proposal but as each

estates have one vote the king rejected this appeal. They walked out of

assembly.
