Question

What were the main Ideas behind the french
revolution​

Answer 1

Answer: Main Causes Of French Revolution

Explanation:

The main causes of the French Revolution were cruelty and injustice.... The French aristocracy brutally treated all peasants as below them. France was divided in three Estates. The first Two Estates were nobles and priests, but it was the Third Estate, the commoners, who were forced to pay all taxes and serve the Crown. This cruelty and injustice finally drove the peasants towards the Revolution!

Answer 2

Answer:

The ideas of the French Revolution are Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity. Let us take these up one by one.

Liberty:

Liberty or freedom was with regard to 18 the century, liberty meant freedom from all sorts of torture and abuse. Another example of state oppression was the censorship of publications containing criticisms of the monarch, the aristocracy or the church.

Equality:

The taxation system witnessed the difference in treatment of different people. There were the bourgeoisie and the Third Estate at that time as the two classes. The bourgeoisie was more reluctant about sharing political equality with the lower ranks of the Third Estate, thereby reflecting the lack of equality among people of those times.

Fraternity:

This third ideal which meant brotherhood was the most difficult to achieve out of all three. So this ideal was all the more significant only in the initial stages of the revolution, and as the revolution progressed, this focus on unity and brotherhood quickly got lost somewhere.
