Questions Chapter 12 (1, 2, 3, 9 and 10)
1. How did reform affect each of the three estates?

The reform affected each and every state because it made them equal in rights. It ended the labour and taxes due to the church from the peasants – They became free persons and the privileges of the nobility were ended. This was all because they wrote the constitution which abolished feudalism.
2. How could the perceived success of violent action, such as the fall of the Bastille, result in more violence by the mob?
It shows that with violence, they get what they want. They were rioting and committing this act for the reasons of the unjust class system known as the three estates. Not only were the mob backed as well by women and most of the third estate but they became aware of something that could be very much of use, knowing how to make the King cower. People had a suspicion of Louis 8th being a woos and this did not at all work in his favor. This could give the mob ideas of how much of a fear they are or how much of a force they could become and what the potential results could be from overthrowing an authoritative power even.

3. Explain why the Constitution of 1791 included a veto for the king?

I do not entirely know why the veto was included but most likely it was included to be a power he could use in the case or scenario where he may be in a jeopardized situation and possibly near the end of his rule, the idea that there could be a law about to be put into place that he may not deem fit and requires time to asses things before the complete clearance of the legislation, or the veto was included for the king for his ability to delay law if there was a matter to do with the people and their rights, he could void the rights in the possible accordance of the law.

    Revolutions of 1848 were the measures that the people believe they had to take in order to achieve what they wanted. The people had nothing to lose but the bondages that held them back from earning that prize of freedom (#1). When the revolutions were successful, the people rejoiced and were once again united. Even students were excited to hear that there will be a new republic. The people were happy to know that there was a new form of government, new order and authority, and did not have to worry about another forming of a monarchy. Finally the people could share the symbols of equality, liberty, and fraternity. (# 3, 6, and 9)…

    Under the rules of 17th century siege warfare the New Model Army were allowed to kill the townspeople, however this right was rarely if ever exercised. The attitude was that revenge could be taken upon a town that took so much effort to besiege. Even during many of the brutal wars in Europe at the time much of the violence, such as those that took place during the French Wars of Religion were in fact conducted by angry mobs. This piece of parliamentary brutality was different and was much more reflective of the state organized violence that followed the French Revolution 140 years later. The only civilian account we have was written by Dean Barnard, a Royalist and Protestant cleric tells is that people were slaughtered in their own homes. This style of violence was conducted by an army directed by a parliament that was willing to hold on to power at all costs.…

    Judging by how the filmmakers oriented the visuals throughout the movie, it was clear that they depicted the French as having some sort of counterinsurgency tactic such as torture that might have won them the Battle of Algiers, but it unexpectedly backfired on them causing the French to be unable to maintain their control over Algeria . Pontecorvo’s film focused on the anti-imperialistic resistance that occurred during the Algerian Revolution. The Battle of Algiers wanted to portray the struggle that the National Liberation Front or the FLN had to endure during their fight for independence and free the people from their oppression. A goal for the film was to present the FLN as freedom fighters that resorted to terroristic attacks as a last resort in order to combat the French colonizers. As preparation for the masses and to get them ready for the struggle the French, the FLN began a program to that would start to eat away at the French. They began clear the out the accumulation of drugs and prostitution, that the French had encouraged and tolerated. Following this campaign, the FLN also resorted to assassinating French police officers that they found roaming the streets If they were going to take back their city they were going to need to start somewhere and taking out the local authority was going to get their attention that this was a real resistance. However, not much animosity was aimed towards the French citizens. As a countermeasure, the French placed bombs in the Casbah, indiscriminately taking with them Algerian families that were sleeping. This in turn anger the FLN and in retaliation sent three women dressed in European clothing to three separate locations that were frequented by young people. Another retaliation was enacted by the…

    Tocqueville was able to sense the February Revolution of 1848 beginning by the way the people were acting: he writes, “as soon as I had set foot in the street I could for the first time scent revolution in the air: the middle of the street was empty; the shops were not open; there were no carriages, or people walking; one heard none of the vendors’ cries; little frightened groups of neighbors talked by the doors in lowered voices; anxiety or anger disfigured every face” (Tocqueville 36). It was quiet, too quiet, and the atmosphere was too tense. The nearly silent streets of Paris became a representation of the Parisians’ apprehension. When Tocqueville was walking through the streets and saw the barricades, fallen trees, and the other acts of destruction, he found himself “saying what had long been on the tip of [his] tongue: ‘Believe me this time it is not another riot, but a revolution.’” (Tocqueville 38). The manner in which the Parisians had transformed the city physically in addition to the incorporeal manner made it doubly obvious what was happening even though it was not quite like the last revolution that had occurred. Tocqueville comments on this, saying, “Nowhere did I see the seething unrest I had witnessed in 1830, when the whole city reminded me of one vast, boiling cauldron. This time it was not a matter of overthrowing the government, but simply of letting it fall”, implying this revolution did not require much effort and therefore there was no need for all the energetic shouting and violence that had happened in 1830 (Tocqueville 39). This time, the Parisians had transformed Paris into a quiet, but tense entity rather than one raging in civil…

    Nationalism has the ability to drive groups of people to use force when needed to protect it. In the first source, a Paris mob of about a thousand people are breaking into the Bastille to get weapons to protect the National Assembly. They are doing this because they were incited by news that the king had ordered troops to break up the Assembly. By protecting the Assembly, the French people were essentially protecting their voice from being dismissed in the decision making of their country. This voice would aid them in bringing about change within the nation, which the people in the Third Estate saw that they needed.…

    The date of the event (4 September, 1557) is significant in understanding how and why a collective of discontented Catholic clergy and citizens assaulted French Protestants due to two important factors preceding the event which exemplifies the period of unrest in Paris: the Edict of Compiegne (July); and the Battle of Saint-Quentin (August). The Edict of Compiegne issued just over a month prior to the Saint-Jacques event on 24 July 1557 by the French Catholic monarch Henry II stipulated that punishments for ‘heresy’ were to be meted out with increased severity , thus, continuing the pursuit of all suspected Protestant conspirators against the kingdom. Consequently, the content of the edict and its close-proximity to the night of 4 September explains one reason why a violent pursuit of Huguenots took…

    By the late 1440s, national anger at the loss of the empire in France fused with growing discontent over internal abuses within the country. Ross [25] describes this scene, “For most Englishmen the chief social evil of the day was the ability of powerful men to defy the law, to bend or pervert the course of justice and to use violence in pursuit of their own interests or those of their followers. Records of the time abound with murders, beatings, destruction of manor houses, and the carrying away of livestock, performed by large gangs of men.”…
