Answer 2

It is true as when National Assembly was busy in drafting constitution rest of France was in turmoil. Due to bad harvest in winter, prices of bread rose to that level that common people could not afford to buy. People started hoarding supplies, therefore women who were standing in long queues in bakery, crowds of angry women, stormed into the shops and looted the bread.
