The storming of the BastilleFall of the BastilleOn the morning of July 14, 1789, a Parisian mob of someeight thousand men and women in search of weaponsstreamed toward the Bastille, a royal armory filled with armsand ammunition. The Bastille was also a state prison.Although it contained only seven prisoners at the time, in theeyes of those angry Parisians it was a glaring symbol of thegovernment’s harsh policies. The armory was defended bythe Marquis de Launay and a small garrison of 114 men.The assault began at one o’clock in the afternoon when agroup of attackers managed to lower two drawbridges over themoat surrounding the fortress. The mob was joined by members of the French Guard, who began to bombard the fortresswith cannon balls. After four hours of fighting, 98 attackers laydead or dying. Only one defender had been killed.As more attackers arrived, de Launay realized that he andhis troops could not hold out much longer and surrendered.Angered by the loss of its members, the victorious mob beatde Launay to death, cut off his head, and carried it aloft in triumph through the streets of Paris.When King Louis XVI returned to his palace at Versaillesafter a day of hunting, he was told about the fall of theBastille by the duc de La Rochefoucauld-Liancourt. Louisexclaimed, “Why, this is a revolt.” “No, Sire,” replied theduke, “It is a revolution.”328Why It MattersThe French Revolution began a newage in European political life. Theold political order in France wasdestroyed. The new order wasbased on individual rights, representative institutions, and loyalty to thenation rather than the monarch. Therevolutionary upheaval of the era,especially in France, created newpolitical ideals, summarized in theFrench slogan, “Liberty, Equality,and Fraternity.” These ideals transformed France, then spread to otherEuropean countries and the rest ofthe world.History and You Using print orInternet sources, familiarize yourselfwith the lyrics to The Marseillaise,God Save the Queen, and The StarSpangled Banner.

The way by which so many people have procuredarms is, that all the public storehouses where weapons were lodged, have been broken open, as well as several private houses plundered, which they thought containedthem. The Archbishop of Paris is among the number of those who have been sacrificedto the people’s rage. He was assassinated at Versailles on Tuesday night. The city ofParis is entirely surrounded with a guard, and not a soul suffered to go out who has anappearance of wealth.”—History in the First Person, Louis L. Snyder and Richard B. Morris, eds., 1951Conquerors of the BastilleThe correspondent may not have realized the full significance of the events hereported, but the French Revolution had begun.Background to the RevolutionThe year 1789 witnessed two far-reaching events: the beginning of a newUnited States of America and the beginning of the French Revolution. Comparedwith the American Revolution, the French Revolution was more complex, moreviolent, and far more radical. It tried to create both a new political order and a newCHAPTER 11The French Revolution and Napoleon329

social order. Indeed, it has often been seen as a majorturning point in European political and social history.The causes of the French Revolution include bothlong-range problems and immediate forces. Thelong-range causes are to be found in the condition ofFrench society. Before the revolution, French societywas based on inequality. France’s population of 27million was divided, as it had been since the MiddleAges, into three orders, or estates.varied from area to area, and over half of the peasants had little or no land on which to survive.Serfdom no longer existed on any large scale inFrance, but French peasants still had obligations totheir local landlords that they deeply resented.These relics of feudalism, or aristocratic privileges,were obligations that survived from an earlier age.They included the payment of fees for the use of village facilities such as the flour mill, communityoven, and winepress, as well as contributions to theclergy.Another part of the Third Estate consisted ofskilled craftspeople, shopkeepers, and other wageearners in the cities. In the eighteenth century, a risein consumer prices that was greater than the increasein wages left these urban groups with a decline inbuying power. The struggle for survival led many ofthese people to play an important role in the revolution, especially in Paris.The bourgeoisie (BURZH WAH ZEE), or middleclass, was another part of the Third Estate. Thisgroup included about 8 percent of the population, or2.3 million people. They owned about 20 to 25 percent of the land. This group included merchants,bankers, and industrialists, as well as professionalpeople—lawyers, holders of public offices, doctors,and writers.The Three EstatesThe First Estate consisted of theclergy and numbered about 130,000 people. Thesepeople owned approximately 10 percent of the land.They were exempt from the taille (TAH yuh),France’s chief tax. The clergy were radically divided.The higher clergy, members of aristocratic families,shared the interests of the nobility. The parish priestswere often poor and from the class of commoners.The Second Estate, the nobility, included about350,000 people. Nobles owned about 25 to 30 percentof the land. They played an important, and even acrucial, role in French society in the eighteenth century. They held many of the leading positions in thegovernment, the military, the law courts, and thehigher church offices. Moreover, they possessedmany privileges, including tax exemptions. Like theclergy, they were exempt from the taille.The nobles soughtThe Threeto expand their powerat the expense of the1.5% 0.5%monarchy.

As a group, they owned about 35to 40 percent of the land. However, landholdings330CHAPTER 11Estates in Pre-Revolutionary FranceThe French Revolution and Napoleon10%25%65%Land ownershipSecond Estate: Nobility100%TaxationThird Estate: CommonersThe Third Estate included peasants, craftspeople, andthe bourgeoisie. In the Third Estate, peasants ownedabout 40 percent of the land in France, and thebourgeoisie owned about 25 percent.1. Drawing Inferences From looking at thesecircle graphs, what inferences can you drawabout why a revolution occurred in France?

Members of the middle classwere unhappy with the privileges held by nobles. At thesame time, they shared a greatdeal with the nobility. Indeed,by obtaining public offices,wealthy middle-class individuals could enter the ranks of thenobility. During the eighteenthcentury, 6,500 new noble families were created.In addition, both aristocratsand members of the bourgeoisiewere drawn to the new politicalideas of the Enlightenment.Both groups were increasinglyupset with a monarchical system resting on privilegesand on an old and rigid social order. The oppositionof these elites to the old order ultimately led them todrastic action against the monarchy.HistoryLes Halles, the market area of Paris, is pictured with theGrand Chatelet in the background. Would this markethave been quieter or busier twenty years beforethe revolution? Why?Financial CrisisSocial conditions, then, formed along-range background to the French Revolution.The immediate cause of the revolution was the nearcollapse of government finances.The French economy, although it had beenexpanding for 50 years, suffered periodic crises. Badharvests in 1787 and 1788 and a slowdown in manufacturing led to food shortages, rising prices forfood, and unemployment. The number of poor, estimated by some at almost one-third of the population, reached crisis proportions on the eve of therevolution.An English traveler noted the misery of the poor inthe countryside: “All the country girls and women arewithout shoes or stockings; and the plowmen at theirwork have neither shoes nor stockings to their feet.This is a poverty that strikes at the root of nationalprosperity.”In spite of these economic problems, the Frenchgovernment continued to spend enormous sums oncostly wars and court luxuries. The queen, MarieAntoinette, was especially known for her extravagance. The government had also spent large amountsto help the American colonists against Britain.On the verge of a complete financial collapse, thegovernment of Louis XVI was finally forced to call ameeting of the Estates-General to raise new taxes.This was the French parliament, and it had not metsince 1614.Reading Check Identifying What groups were partof the Third Estate?From Estates-General toNational AssemblyThe Estates-General was composed of representatives from the three orders of French society. TheFirst and Second Estates had about three hundreddelegates each. The Third Estate had almost six hundred delegates, most of whom were lawyers fromFrench towns. To fix France’s financial problems,most members of the Third Estate wanted to set up aconstitutional government that would abolish thetax exemptions of the clergy and nobility.The meeting of the Estates-General opened at Versailles on May 5, 1789. It was troubled from the startwith a problem about voting. Traditionally, eachestate had one vote. That meant that the First andSecond Estates together could outvote the ThirdEstate two to one.The Third Estate demanded that each deputy haveone vote. With the help of a few nobles and clerics,that would give the Third Estate a majority. The king,however, declared he was in favor of the current system, in which each estate had one vote.The Third Estate reacted quickly. On June 17, 1789,it called itself a National Assembly and decided todraft a constitution. Three days later, on June 20, thedeputies of the Third Estate arrived at their meetingplace, only to find the doors locked.The deputies then moved to a nearby indoor tennis court and swore that they would continue to meetCHAPTER 11The French Revolution and Napoleon331

History through ArtThe Tennis Court Oath by Jacques-LouisDavid Members of the National Assembly sworethat they would produce a French constitution.What caused members to fear that the NationalAssembly would be dissolved by force?until they had produced a French constitution. Theoath they swore is known as the Tennis Court Oath.Louis XVI prepared to use force against the ThirdEstate. The common people, however, saved theThird Estate from the king’s forces. On July 14, a mobof Parisians stormed the Bastille (ba STEEL), anarmory and prison in Paris, and dismantled it, brickby brick. Paris was abandoned to the rebels.Louis XVI was soon informed that he could nolonger trust the royal troops. Royal authority had collapsed. Louis XVI could enforce his will no more. Thefall of the Bastille had saved the National Assembly.At the same time, popular revolutions broke outthroughout France, both in the cities and in the countryside. A growing hatred of the entire landholdingsystem, with its fees and obligations, led to the popular uprisings.Peasant rebellions took place throughout Franceand became part of the Great Fear, a vast panic thatspread quickly through France in the summer of1789. Citizens, fearing invasion by foreign troops thatwould support the French monarchy, formed militias.Reading Check Examining Why did the Third Estateobject to each estate’s having one vote in the Estates-General?332CHAPTER 11The French Revolution and NapoleonThe Destruction of the Old RegimeThe peasant revolts and fear of foreign troops hada strong effect on the National Assembly, which wasmeeting in Versailles. One of the assembly’s first actswas to destroy the relics of feudalism, or aristocraticprivileges. On the night of August 4, 1789, theNational Assembly voted to abolish the rights oflandlords, as well as the financial privileges of noblesand clergy.Declaration of the Rights of Man On August 26,the National Assembly adopted the Declaration ofthe Rights of Man and the Citizen. Inspired by theAmerican Declaration of Independence and Constitution, and the English Bill of Rights, this charter ofbasic liberties began with a ringing affirmation of “thenatural and imprescriptible rights of man” to “liberty,property, security, and resistance to oppression.”Reflecting Enlightenment thought, the declarationwent on to proclaim freedom and equal rights for allmen, access to public office based on talent, and anend to exemptions from taxation. All citizens were tohave the right to take part in the making of laws.Freedom of speech and the press were affirmed.

The declaration also raised an important issue.Did its ideal of equal rights for all men also includewomen? Many deputies insisted that it did, providedthat, as one said, “women do not hope to exercisepolitical rights and functions.”Olympe de Gouges, a woman who wrote playsand pamphlets, refused to accept this exclusion ofwomen from political rights. Echoing the words ofthe official declaration, she penned a Declaration ofthe Rights of Woman and the Female Citizen. In it,she insisted that women should have all the samerights as men.She wrote:“Believing that ignorance, omission, or scorn forthe rights of woman are the only causes of publicmisfortunes and of the corruption of governments,the women have resolved to set forth in a solemndeclaration the natural, inalienable, and sacred rightsof woman in order that this declaration, constantlyexposed before all the members of the society, willceaselessly remind them of their rights and duties.”A National HolidayThe French Revolution gave rise to the concept of themodern nation-state. With the development of themodern state came the celebration of one day a year asa national holiday—usually called Independence Day.The national holiday is a day that has special significance in the history of the nation-state.In France, the fall of the Bastille on July 14, 1789, hasbeen celebrated ever since as the beginning of theFrench nation-state. Independence Day in the UnitedStates is celebrated on July 4. On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress approved the Declaration ofIndependence.In Norway, people celebrate Constitution Day as anational holiday on May 17. On that day in 1814, Norway received a constitution, although it did not gain itsindependence from Sweden until 1905.Most Latin American countries became independentof Spain or Portugal in the early nineteenth century.Mexico, for example, celebrates its Independence Dayon September 16 with a colorful festival. On September16, 1810, a crowd of local people attacked Spanishauthorities in a small village near Mexico City. TheyThe National Assembly ignored her demands. ;(See page 775 to read excerpts from Olympe de Gouges’sDeclaration of the Rights of Woman and the Female Citizen in thePrimary Sources Library.)The King ConcedesIn the meantime, Louis XVIhad remained at Versailles. He refused to accept theNational Assembly’s decrees on the abolition of feudalism and the Declaration of Rights. On October 5,however, thousands of Parisian women—describedby one eyewitness as “detachments of women coming up from every direction, armed with broomsticks, lances, pitchforks, swords, pistols andmuskets”—marched to Versailles. A delegation of thewomen met with Louis XVI and described how theirchildren were starving from a lack of bread. Theyforced the king to accept the new decrees.The crowd now insisted that the royal familyreturn to Paris to show the king’s support of theNational Assembly. On October 6, the family journeyed to Paris. As a goodwill gesture, Louis XVIbrought along wagonloads of flour from the palacewere crushed, but their actioneventually led to Mexico’s independence from Spanish controlin 1821.Most nations in Africa andAsia gained their independencefrom Western colonial powersafter World War II. India celebrates Independence Day onAugust 15.

The king andhis family became virtual prisoners in Paris.Church Reforms Because the Catholic Church wasseen as an important pillar of the old order, it, too,was reformed. Because of the need for money, theNational Assembly seized and sold the lands of theChurch.The Church was also secularized. A new CivilConstitution of the Clergy was put into effect. Bothbishops and priests were to be elected by the people334CHAPTER 11The French Revolution and Napoleon"Louis XVI is arrested at Varennes.and paid by the state. The French government nowcontrolled the Church. Many Catholics became enemies of the revolution.A New Constitution and New FearsThe NationalAssembly completed a new constitution, the Constitution of 1791, which set up a limited monarchy. According to the constitution, there would still be a king, buta Legislative Assembly would make the laws.The Assembly was to consist of 745 representatives. The way they were to be chosen ensured thatonly the more affluent members of society would beelected. Though all male citizens had the same rights,only men over 25 who paid a specified amount intaxes could vote.

By 1791, the old order had been destroyed. However, many people—including Catholic priests,nobles, lower classes hurt by a rise in the cost of living, and radicals who wanted more drastic solutions—opposed the new order. Louis XVI also madethings difficult for the new government. Heattempted to flee France in June 1791. He almost succeeded but was recognized, captured, and broughtback to Paris.In this unsettled situation, with a seemingly disloyal monarch, the new Legislative Assembly held itsfirst session in October 1791. France’s relations withthe rest of Europe would soon lead to the downfall ofLouis XVI.War with AustriaOver time, some European leaders began to fear that revolution would spread totheir countries. The rulers of Austria and Prussiaeven threatened to use force to restore Louis XVI tofull power. Insulted by this threat, the LegislativeAssembly declared war on Austria in the springof 1792.The French fared badly in the initial fighting. Afrantic search for scapegoats began. One observernoted, “Everywhere you hear the cry that the king isbetraying us, the generals are betraying us, thatnobody is to be trusted; . . . that Paris will be taken insix weeks by the Austrians . . . we are on a volcanoready to spout flames.”Rise of the Paris CommuneDefeats in war,coupled with economic shortages at home in thespring of 1792, led to new political demonstrations,Checking for Understanding1.

Declaration of the Rights ofMan and the CitizenONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT DOCUMENTSof the French Revolution, the Declaration of theRights of Man and the Citizen, was adopted inAugust 1789 by the National Assembly.The representatives of the French people, organ“ized as a national assembly, considering that ignorance, neglect, and scorn of the rights of man arethe sole causes of public misfortunes and of corruption of governments, have resolved to display in asolemn declaration the natural, inalienable, andsacred rights of man, so that this declaration, constantly in the presence of all members of society,will continually remind them of their rights and theirduties . . . Consequently, the National Assembly recognizes and declares, in the presence and under theauspices of the Supreme Being, the following rightsof man and citizen:1. Men are born and remain free and equal inrights; social distinctions can be established onlyfor the common benefit.2. The aim of every political association is the conservation of the natural . . . rights of man; theserights are liberty, property, security, and resistance to oppression. . . .4. Liberty consists in being able to do anythingthat does not harm another person. . . .6. The law is the expression of the general will; allcitizens have the right to concur personally orthrough their representatives in its formation; itmust be the same for all, whether it protects orpunishes.7. No man can be accused, arrested, or detainedexcept in cases determined by the law, andaccording to the forms which it hasprescribed. . . .10. No one may be disturbed because of his opinions, even religious, provided that their publicdemonstration does not disturb the public orderestablished by law.336Painting of the declaration11.
