The French Revolution

1.Many of the Third Estaste were very angree and sceptical of the frence rules.They felt storngest about the nobales,king,and clergy.Most reason were because the third estate were the less wealthy and had the highest amount of taxes to pay.Also including that farmers would have to give in what ever wes asked of them straight from there farms.

2.The most complaints or grumbles in the time if 1789 would have had to been paying taxes.It was only about the taxes but the way they would have had to be paid.In an unfair manner.The 2% of the other estate paid barely nothing to none at all.Leaving the other 98%to pay everything and more.

3.The cartoonist is tryin to show that the third class world or the pesants were handling all of the taxes.Basically like carrying the other two estates on the back.Tking them were they needed to go and them staying behind to go back to they poor property when finished.The caption "ones hopes will soon end,"ment to me that the hopes of the less fortunate people of not having to pay so much and have so little will soon be become a reality.The time was coming for a revolution and soon enough everything will change for everyone.They will only have there own personal burrden to carry.

4.The writer explains the pesants life as hard.He writes about hoe the animals are very low,malnuished,and not enough to have to give away.He expressed the hardship of the pesants.Tries to express there pain there pain and concern on paying very expensive taxes.

5.In sources A, B, C it explains what the poor had to do to be able to pay taxes. Which is the reason that they resented the rich and the upper classmen so much. In source A, it shows the higher estates stepping on a man of a lower estate. To show power over him. In source B, a women talks to someone about how her and her husband have to pay taxes that they dont have. They had to pay with money and with animals. It was hard for them to do either for the reason that they dont have much of anything.

6.This passage would have most likely influnence the peasants. The source speaks of only issues that only effected the peasants. The other estate did not have to follow as many laws as the peasants.

7.The Kings and the people with the most power would have been the ones to bane this document. It wouls have been a way vto help the peasants see that they might be able to make a difference. It would have started a big contraversy.
