French Revolution

France was deep in debt because

• money spent on the American Revolution
• Marie Antoinette's lavish spending
• the 1st and 2nd estates did not pay taxes
• all of the above

The idea that reason should guide society rather than tradition helped cause the revolution and came from

• the Scientific Revolution
• the Enlightenment
• all of the above

Most of the people of France belonged to the 

• 1st 
  Estate
• 2nd Estate
• 3rd Estate

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

The National Assembly set down the ideas of the Revolution in 

• the Declaration of Independence
• the Declaration of the Rights of Man
• the US Constitution
• The Edict of Nantes

Radicals are people who 

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