Enlightenment and Revolutions

France was deep in debt because

• of money spent on the American Revolution

• of Marie Antoinette's lavish spending

• the 1st and 2nd estates did not pay taxes

• all of the above

Why was voting in the Estates General unfair

• votes were not secret
• each estate voted by how many members there were
• each estate got the same number of votes
• the King got two votes

When the other estates refused to change voting rules the 3rd Estate 

• met separately
• declared themselves the new government
• Created the National Assembly
• all of the above

Radicals are people who 

• try to prevent change
• believe in capital punishment
• support the old government
