The French Revolution

#1:
-Nobles almost had complete authority over peasants
-Nobles did not do military work
-Nobles collected tolls from people doing markets and on the roads
-Peasants were forced to do military work
-Peasants had to pay taxes to their king, the church and their lord
-Etc.

#2- The price of bread have doubled and the people were starving and France was borrowing heavilythat King Louis the 16th was asking the Americans to fight England in their revolution.

#3- I think the peasant was trying to kill them because one thing i saw in the pictureis that his arm is wrapped around the feudal lords neck, the feudal lord is trying to break free and the clergy is hiding behind them

#4- It appears that the two people are struggling to survive because they keep giving the feudal lords crops and animals as taxes. after a while, they will end up with nothing and they will probably die

#5- Te poor peolpe do resent on the rich poeple because they have to pay alot of things that has to be paid like every month or year and they don't have things that rich people have. The rich people have the easy life.

#6- I would say the people because people should be able to vote and decide if they want a government that isn't so cruel and fair. All of the poor people would want to participate in this because they would live healthy than die in the streets.

#7- I think the king and the rich people didn't want and fair democracy because they rather live the way they are right now and they would care less for the poor people.
