The Course of the Revolution:

Apart from the National Assembly, the common people of France, inspired by the ideals of liberty and equality, had decided to revolt against injustice. Thousands of people gathered in the streets of Paris on July 14, 1789, and broke into the Bastille, the state prison. They entered the prison and released the prisoners. The Bastille, the symbol of a despotic monarchy, was destroyed.

The fall of the Bastille is an important landmark in the history of the French Revolution. France observed 14th July 1789 as the Independence Day. On August 12, 1789, the National Assembly adopted the “Declaration of the Rights of Man”. It declared, “Men are born and remain free and are equal in rights.” The drafting of the Constitution was completed by the end of 1791.

In 1792, the French monarchy was abolished and France became a republic upholding the principles of liberty, equality and fraternity. A provisional government was set up. In 1793, executive authority passed into the hands of a radical political group called the Jacobins.
