. The Sacred Values of the French Revolution

The ideas of the French Revolution, coined in the phrases "Liberty", "Equality" and "Fraternity", triggered an enormous enthusiasm all over Europe.

The individuals must be liberated from their old restricting contexts of village communities, guilds, monasteries and large families. The privileges of nobility and church should be abolished. Everybody should be become free and equal individuals only bound together as brothers in the nation.

Left: The attack on the fortress of Bastillien d. 14 June 1789.
Right: Third Estate with the two other estates on its back.

"Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains" declared Jean-Jacques Rousseau in his "The Social Contract". The revolutionary French constitution was precisely such a contract, which allowed the free individuals to pursue their selfish goals restricted by the framework of the society contract only.

Following her military intervention in the far-off America in support of the rebels of 1777, France and king Ludwig 16. had incurred an huge debt, which in 1784 had increased to 4 billion livres, an enormous sum, which the nation in the short run was unable to repay.

In order to solve the debt problem of the nation the king and the government decided to convene an Estates General Assembly of the three estates, nobility, clergy, and peasants and citizens.

However the third estate, required having as many representatives in the Estates General Assembly as the two other estates together, claiming that they represented the vast majority of the people. With the support of Queen Marie Antoinette, they managed to get this request fulfilled.
