It seems to me that the French revolution had two major effects among others:
1) It didnt abolish the monarchy for good (the monarchy was restored several times after that). But it put into question the sacredness of the French monarch. The kings of France received their absolute power from divine right, which means directly from God. This meant that the king couldn't be wrong and most of all that the people had no role to play in choosing him or providing him with sovereignty. He received his powers and mandate from God not the people. The king was therefore holy. The revolution changed that. For the first time, it was understood with the help of renowned thinkers from the enlightenment era (Robespierre, Montesquieu, Voltaire, etc.) that the people were the source of sovereignty and power came from the People. It was a revolutionary way of conceiving power and its source.
2) The second, more universal effect, related to the first point, is that the French revolution carried a certain number of values of freedom and rights for human beings which gave birth to the declaration of human rights. The declaration still constitutes a text of reference today at the international level. People became aware that each human being is an individual with rights that need to be protected. It was the fruit of the enlightenment and the work of the great philosophers of that time. The US revolution also played a big role of influence.
The French revolution had other effects and also had its dark sides. But these are the two major ones that come to my mind.
