Government Before the Revolution
• King Louis XVI was an absolute monarch.
Problems- Social, Economic, Political, Natural or Religious
• Absolute Monarchy - Rule by Divine Right• A weak king(Louis XVI) - indecisive,
influenced by others(Queen Marie Antoinette)• little understanding of the condition of the
people• empty treasury (too much spending, not
enough taxing of 1st and 2nd Estates)• failure in wars and heavy cost of wars• luxury of the court • system of unequal taxation

Discontents
From the diary of the English writer Arthur Young, on his travel through France, July 1789.
• “Walking up a long hill…. I was joined by a poor woman who complained of the times and that it was a sad country;… she said her husband had only a small amount of land, one cow and a poor little horse, yet they had……very heavy tailles, other taxes and dues. She had seven children, and …This woman, at no great distance might have been taken for 60 or 70, her figure was so bent and her face so … hardened by labour -
but she said she was only 28.”

Class Discussion– The old man represents the Third Estate. To which
social group of that estate does he belong? What clues does the cartoonist use to make the suggestion?
– What do the other two people represent? What helps you think so?
– Do you think that the cartoon has reflected fully the problem of social inequality in France before the French revolution?
This image shows "the people" as a chained and blindfolded man being crushed under the weight of the rich, including both clergy and nobility. Such a perspective on the period before 1789 purposely exaggerates social divisions and would have found few proponents before the Revolution, but the image does reveal the social clash felt so intensely by the revolutionaries.
