French Revolution And Enlightenment

Question: French Revolution of 1789 was a product of Enlightenment thought?

Some historians argue that the French Revolution of 1789 was a product of Enlightenment thought. Others contend that it resulted less from philosophy and more from mundane economic or political factors. Briefly explain the rationales behind both of these arguments. Which of these contentions do you believe is more accurate and why?

Answer: the thought of enlightment has been around as long as man kind could think.
we never had to really think about it, we just had it in our heads to begin with.
no one started it, no one had to say it out loud.

the French Revolution may have caught on to it, because when i crisis, we turn to other sources of "nervana" "god" "buddha" any of these sources.
it was no doubt looked into philosophy back since before date.

French Revolution Journal

Question: Journal on the French Revolution?

I have to write 4 journal entries about being part of the BOURGEOIS class during the French Revolution. It has to take place through out the entire think per say 1 entry per year.

In my class I didn’t talk much about them but more about the peasants revolting etc. I NEED AS MUCH INFORMATION AS I CAN GET TO WRITE THESE JOURNAL ENTRIES!! Please can anyone tell me any sites- general knowledge and important information that I will need to know to do well?

Answer: In the French feudal order pre-revolution, "bourgeois" was a class of citizens who were wealthier members of the Third Estate, but were overtaxed and had none of the privileges which the aristocracy held (however many bourgeois bought their way into nobility; see Venal Office).

Bourgeoisie were defined by conditions such as length of residence and source of income. The word evolved to mean merchants and traders, and until the 19th century was mostly synonymous with the middle class (persons in the broad socioeconomic spectrum between nobility and serfs or proletarians). Then, as the power and wealth of the nobility faded in the second half of the 19th century, the bourgeoisie emerged as the new ruling class.

Answer: You might have better luck with books. here's one from amazon with pictures:

Also look online for portraits by Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun, who painted portraits of Marie Antoinette and others before and after the Revolution. The stiff dresses with hoops are from before, the loose white dresses worn with straw hats are from before, the straighter white and colored dresses with bizarre hats and hair are from after.

Check your library. Look online for costume departments at universities. Look at art collections online.

Good luck!
The French Revolution was 1789. Napoleon crowned himself emperor in 1804. Louis XVI and Marie antoinette ruled 1774-1793. this should help you look for the time periods.
