Describe the circumstances leading to the outbreak of revolutionary protest in France.
The outbreak of revolutionary protest in France was fueled by several complex political, social, and economic factors. In 1774, King Louis XVI ascended the throne to find France's treasury empty, increased by lengthy wars and extravagant royal spending. To reduce the financial crisis, the state was forced to increase taxes, burdening the Third Estate, who were already shouldering heavy taxes, while the First and Second Estates enjoyed privileges and tax exemptions. Additionally, a rise in population led to increased demand for food grains, causing bread prices to soar and worsening living conditions for the common folk. This situation precipitated a subsistence crisis. The discontent reached a boiling point when the king planned further taxes and called the Estates-General, refusing to grant equal voting rights to the Third Estate, prompting them to form the National Assembly. These economic hardships, social inequalities, and political grievances collectively led to the eruption of revolutionary protests across France.
Which groups of French society benefited from the revolution? Which groups were forced to relinquish power? Which sections of society would have been disappointed with the outcome of the revolution?

What were the key ideas of the Enlightenment philosophers, and how did they contribute to the intellectual underpinnings of the French Revolution?
The Enlightenment philosophers, such as John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Montesquieu, contributed significantly to the intellectual underpinnings of the French Revolution through their advocacy for liberty, equality, and fraternity. Locke's Two Treatises of Government refuted the divine right of kings and advocated for the idea of a social contract and the government's responsibility to its citizens. Rousseau expanded on the social contract idea, emphasizing popular sovereignty and equality before the law. Montesquieu introduced the concept of the separation of powers within the government to prevent tyranny. Together, these ideas provided a philosophical basis for challenging the autocratic rule of the monarchy, promoting a government based on representative democracy, and helped fuel the revolutionary movements in France.
