Answer:

Hey friend!! Here is your answer

Explanation:

While the National Assembly was busy at Versailles drafting a

constitution, the rest of France seethed with turmoil. A severe winter

had meant a bad harvest; the price of bread rose, often bakers exploited

the situation and hoarded supplies. After spending hours in long

queues at the bakery, crowds of angry women stormed into the

shops. At the same time, the king ordered troops to move into Paris.

On 14 July, the agitated crowd stormed and destroyed the Bastille.

In the countryside rumours spread from village to village that the

lords of the manor had hired bands of brigands who were on their

way to destroy the ripe crops. Caught in a frenzy of fear, peasants in

several districts seized hoes and pitchforks and attacked chateaux.

They looted hoarded grain and burnt down documents containing

records of manorial dues. A large number of nobles fled from their

homes, many of them migrating to neighbouring countries.

Hope this helps.... : )
