Influences on the Modern World
The French Revolution was the definition of change, and many forces that caused the Revolution affected the modern world. According to Voltaire, "The great vice of democracy is certainly not tyranny and cruelty..." (Voltaire, ?, 96, Doc. A); on the contrary according to Montesquieu, "to exercise those three powers, that of enacting laws. That of executing the public resolutions, and that of trying the suits of individuals..." (Robinson, 1935, I 191-92, Doc. B); this is contradictory in accordance to Rousseau, "Man is born free; and everywhere he is in chains" (Cole, 1946, 3, 12-16, Doc. C). Although, Rousseau, Montesquieu, and Voltaire all had contradictory views about the politics in France, their views were all directed at a similar purpose, the end of feudalism. According to historian Mathews, "The French Revolution was in large measure due to the passion for liberty and equality" (Mathews, 1925, 55, Doc. D); just as this event occurred in history; according to historian Robins!on, "...the arrest was illegal in form and the imprisonment a real injustice" (Robinson, 1904, II, 362-64, Doc. G). The Revolution was aided when the King illegally arrested and imprisoned people, and these actions led to unrest in the country. All thi
Many events caused the French Revolution; unfair monarchy, and heavy taxation, outrageous law. According to Young, "The cappitaineries were a dreadful scourge on all the occupiers of land" (Robinson, ?, II, 365, Doc. H-2), this is similar to the King's advisors, according to Turgot, "I shall be feared, hated even, by nearly all the court, by all who solicit favors" (Robinson, 1935, II, 388, Doc. K); on the contrary, in accordance to Cours des aides, "Consequently a King who loves justice must seek...enlightenment in the hearts of the Nation" (?, ?, 145-153, Doc. M). The cappitaineries were the sole evil to the peasants, as Turgot claimed he should create a dreaded list of financial laws, yet the Aides claims the King should embrace his people. According to Cahier of Dourdan, "That in the chief town of every bailliage a public school be established..." (Stewart, ?, 76-83, Doc. S); this is similar according to the Cahier of Carcasssone, "The meetings of the Estates General of the kingdom should be fixed for definite periods..." (Robinson, 1935, II, 398-400, Doc. T). Both these cahiers requested this list of requests be met, on behalf of the people. In accordance to historian Stewart, "The name of National Assembly is the only one wh! Nevertheless, these forces caused the trials and tribulations, and the happiness after the French Revolution and these resulted in the Reign of Terror. According to ainst the poor" (Phillips, 1932, 293-95, Doc. 17). The poor against the rich, the aftermath of the revolution gains new light. The modern world much resembles history, a repetitive struggle for power; throughout modern history one can see the greed that starts the wars, and the constitutions that end the wars. One can say that the events before, during, and after the French Revolution are in a resemblance of the modern era. 306, Doc. 21); on the contrary, according to an eye-witness Higgins, "The National Convention decrees the immediate arrest of maximilien Robespierre, one of its members..." (Higgins, ?, 357-59, Doc. 22). The Reign of Terror began and ended, no one was safe from the terror. No one was safe, not even the terror himself.
