French Revolution
Before the French Revolution France had a system of government and society which was called the Old Regime.
In the 1780's France was experiencing many economic difficulties. Louis XVI called a meeting of the National Assembly in order to discuss solutions to the difficulties.
However during the National Assembly the 3rd Estate with some help from other Estates declared a new government which they called the Legislative Assembly.
Members of the Legislative Assembly swore an oath not to disband until a Declaration of Rights had been written which would set out rules and laws on the new government of France would function. This oath was called the ________?
This period was very chaotic. Not only was there a revolution occuring within the country to try and establish a new government but other countries were attacking France in order to put Louis XVI back on the thronr & stop the revolution. The National Convention was unable to control the situation and another more elected government, replaced it called the republic.
Under Robespierre a government called the Committe of Public Safety was established.
