WHO most to blame for AR fall? Flashcards
Parisian worker?
Supported 3E during EG meeting (stood outside); king couldnt subdue 3E …also contirbuted to king’s decision to increase troops in Paris
Oct Days- 8k stormed Versailles; he was now a prisoner of the people
Bastille- 20k again weakened king’s authority
Subordinate Parisian workers?
W/out NA neither Bastille or OD would have a long lasting effect- he could suppress their attacks much more easily (it was NA who organised NG)
Bastille had been organised by bourgeise eg Desmoulins at Cafe du Foy
King’s fault?
Calling of Cahiers increased tension and calling of EG increased revolutionary air
not confirming voting procedure again increases tension
different receptions for the estates- hall of Mirrors for 1&2
June 4th death of Dauphin; he couldnt resolve conflict at peak time
locked NA out- led to TCO
23rd june seance royale- refuses to recognise NA, deems them illegal and forces them to disband
troops in paris (25k by 11 July)
Dismissing nECKER
Subordinate King?
Not despotic at seance royale- getting rid of taxes as long as he had consent of reps, lettres de cachet to be abolished
Any decision over voting would be unpopular with one group
1st and Second Estate?
Estates created paralysis over voting - gave time and frustration for NA to form
Voting by head was the idea of Society of 30
Began move to 3rd estate on June 13th- 3 cures from Poitou
Sieyes gave 3rd estate belief to be representative as he was a member fo the clergy
2nd estate joined NA giving it legitimacy despite seance rouale
They signed Aug Dec and DoroM (renouncing privileges and removal of feudal system)
Suboridnate 1&2E
Only signed AD and DoRoM because of Great Fear; needed to stop anarchy; not on board with abolishment (great debates)
3E coud have created NA without them…they were 96% of France
Bourgeoise?
Declared rights of man
Sparked great fear - king wouls have been more willing suppress the risings without the NA
They were a legitimate political opponent to the King
Urban workers worried about King but Bastille would have happened if NA didnt encourage
Bourgeoise instigated all movements to a NA
