Why did france start their revolution

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

King Louis XVI needed money. His financial crisis forced the French monarch to reluctantly convene the Estates General in order to levy a new land tax that would hopefully solve his monetary woes. It had been 175 years since the last meeting of this deliberative body that included representatives of three Estates: the First comprised of the clergy, the Second comprised of the nobility and the Third comprised of the middle and lower classes.

of the RevolutionThe Estates began their meeting at Versailles on May 5, 1789 and quickly entered into a power struggle. The Third Estate soon declared itself a "National Assembly" that was representative of the people. This new National Assembly expressed its desire to include the other two Estates in its deliberations but also made it clear that it was determined to move forward without them. Louis attempted to shut down the National Assembly, but on June 20 its members declared that they would not disband until they had written a new constitution for France.

The tension increased, exacerbated by massive crop failures that led to a shortage of food. In Paris, mobs filled the city's streets. The fear spread that the king would retaliate with force. On July 14 the mob stormed the Bastille to obtain arms. The attack launched the nation down a pathway that would eventually lead to the destruction of the monarchy and the execution of Louis XVI.

Answers

Gothic master builders use geometric line and patterns in their design because it imparts a feeling or order and harmony. Since the Greeks, ideal geometric shapes in architecture have always been used for this reason. The Romans did the same which was followed by new innovation in the Middle Ages. “Gothic” was first used by Renaissance critics to scorn the architectural style for its lack of conformity to the classic Greek and Roman standards. However, a closer look reveals that this style is firmly rooted to the ancient use of geometry and proportion.
