France Revolution

18th century. Which is countries were ruled by absolutism – the monarch had
absolute control over the government. On this regime France only have two
Classes of people – privileged and unprivileged
Monarch ruled by divine right, God put some people in positions of power, so no
one can question someone put in power by God, lead us to believing, if we
questioning the monarchy was blasphemy because it meant questioning God
As the 18th century drew to a close, France’s costly involvement in the American
Revolution, combined with extravagant spending by King Louis XVI, had left
France on the brink of bankruptcy.

The Bastille
The End of Monarchy
The wave of revolutionary fervor and widespread hysteria quickly swept the
entire country. Revolting against years of exploitation, peasants looted and
burned the homes of tax collectors, landlords and the aristocratic elite.
Known as the Great Fear (la Grande peur), the agrarian insurrection hastened
the growing exodus of nobles from France and inspired the National
Constituent Assembly to abolish feudalism on August 4, 1789, signing what
historian Georges Lefebvre later called the “death certificate of the old order.”
In April 1792, the newly elected
Legislative Assembly declared war
on Austria and Prussia, where it
believed that French émigrés were
building counterrevolutionary
alliances; it also hoped to spread its

Declaration of the Rights of Man
and of the Citizen
In late August, the Assembly adopted
the Declaration of the Rights of Man
and of the Citizen (Déclaration des
droits de l’homme et du citoyen), a
statement of democratic principles
grounded in the philosophical and
political ideas of Enlightenment
thinkers like Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
The Death King
On January 21, 1793, it sent King
Louis XVI, condemned to death for
high treason and crimes against the
state, to the guillotine; his wife
Marie-Antoinette suffered the same
fate nine months later.
The Enlightenment
Intellectuals – philosophes – began to ask
if natural laws might also apply to human
beings. Particularly to human institutions
such as governments
Reasoning
Used reason and logic to determine how
governments are formed and Tried to figure out what
logical, rational principles work to tie people to their
governments
Philosophes were secular in
thinking – they used reason and
logic, rather than faith, religion, and
superstition, to answer important
questions
New Regime
Scientists during the Renaissance had discovered laws that
govern the natural world
Sociology
France Revolution
During the French Revolution, which began in 1789, France’s class
system changed dramatically. Aristocrats suddenly lost their
money and status, while peasants, who had been at the bottom
of the social ladder, rose to more powerful and influential
positions.
Aguste Comte
Comte looked at the extensive changes brought about by the
French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution and tried to make
sense of them. He felt that the social sciences that existed at the
time, including political science and history, couldn’t adequately
explain the chaos and upheaval he saw around him.
The Industrial Revolution
The Industrial revolution soon followed on in the 1800’s. It played
an important part in the establishment of Sociology as it
transformed the way of living entirely. There was a major decline
in agricultural work as society became industrialised.
Emile Durkheim
In Durkheim's opinion, the answers of modern societies to these
and similar questions had been deeply ambivalent -- i.e., on the
one hand, the division of labor seemed to be increasingly viewed
as a moral rule.
New Steps of Sociology
Wright Mills argued that there are three important questions that we
need to ask in order to understand society. The first being where does
society stand in human history? How did we get to where we are today
and what were societies before us like? The second question Mills
identified was what is the structure of society as a whole? How the
structures interrelate and what their impact is on society. Lastly, in order
to understand society, we need to examine what groups of people live in
society and how they interact with each other and the institutions. Mills,
C. (1959).
