Clearly if the starving, downtrodden French people had sought a polite debate with the king instead, it’d have ushered the age of democracy and human rights much faster.
- umanwizard 7y agoThe starving, downtrodden French people mainly just wanted to reduce their taxes and the privileges of their local nobility. Getting rid of the king (and to a large extent, the church) was very much a movement of Paris-based intellectuals, not indigent farmers.
