At the end of the 18th century, the French Revolution took place and completely changed France. French society was in an even worse state: poverty, unjust systems both socially and politically, and economic decline. The third estate became extremely dissatisfied with unjust laws and privileged classes. With the economic failures, the monarch began to severely tax the third estate, which angered the third estate. From then on, powerful and effective actions were taken to rebel against the French government. The French Revolution took place and went through many phases to resolve social, political and economic problems. The ideals of the French Revolution, Liberty, Equality and Fraternity, were a reflection of the collapse of the Ancien RĂ©gime due to change and reform of politics, classes and social systems, unjust tax systems and economy that occurred during the French Revolution. The inequalities of the inheritance system were one of the main causes of the French Revolution. In France, the inheritance system divides the population into three groups. The first estate is composed of clergy, the second estate is composed of nobles and aristocrats, and the third estate is composed of bourgeois, peasants, and urban workers. The inheritance system prevented the third party from having equal or equitable rights as the first and second estates. A political image was created showing an old and weak man, representing the third estate, carrying two well-dressed and fed men, representing the first and second estate who are the men of the clergy and the nobility (Document 1). This image shows that the third estate does all the hard and painful work for these men of the clergy and nobility. This image was created to show how the middle of the paper has reason to rebel and take steps for change. In France, economic failures are one of the main causes of the French Revolution, unfair taxation and bankruptcy angered the French people against the government. Little by little, the privileges of the nobility were abolished by the revolution. Many groups of people contributed to the success of the revolution, such as the National Convention, they adopted many declarations and documents to mark each of their stages of success during the French Revolution. Over time, many things happened and changed before, during and after the French Revolution. The French Revolution marked a major change and reform of Ancein's regime. This radically changed France politically, economically and socially. Without the French Revolution, France would not have evolved in such a way to become an equal and just nation..
