The Storming of the Bastille

Did the Meeting of the Estates General contributed to the rise of democracy?

how did the storming of the bastille help contribute to democracy?

Yes, the meeting of the Estates General did contribute to the rise of democracy during the French Revolution. The Estates General was a political assembly representing three estates of the French population - the clergy, the nobility, and the commoners. The meeting of the Estates General in 1789 was significant because it marked the first time in over a century that such an assembly was convened. It provided an opportunity for representatives from all the estates to come together and voice their concerns and grievances to the monarchy. This event played a crucial role in challenging the absolute power of the monarchy and laying the groundwork for democratic reforms.
