Answer:

Causes of the French Revolution:

  • Louis XVI's despotic rule: He ascended to the throne of France in 1774. He had squandered France's financial resources in wars. He increased taxes paid by the third estate to cover the cost of his frequent lavish expenses.
  • French society was organised into three estates: the first, second, and third estates, respectively. The clergy and nobles made up the First and Second Estates, which accounted for 10% of the total population. They had full access to everything. The remaining 90% belonged to the third estate, which was responsible for paying all types of direct and indirect taxes. Discrimination like this sparked the third estate's revolt.

Explanation:

  • France's population had grown, resulting in rising prices. As a result, there was an increase in the demand for food grains. As a result, the price of bread skyrocketed, making it unaffordable for the poor.  So the gap between the rich and poor widened.
  • Philosophers such as John Locke, Jean Jacques Rousseau, and Montesquieu were inspired by the idea of creating a society where everybody have equal rights, equal laws, and equal chances. Their ideals motivated the French people to achieve their goals.
  • The role of the middle class: The 18th century saw the formation of socioeconomic groups known as the middle class, who derived their riches from an expanding trade in manufactured goods that were exported. There were also other educated professionals there, such as lawyers and administrative authorities. They thought that no one should be favoured by birth in society.
