Causes, Estates and National Assembly

Use your notes for the causes. For the National Assembly, remember the stuff you wrote down about Sieyes. The Tennis Court oath and the Dec of the Rights of Man all go along with the National Assembly. That was the group of men that broke away from the Estates meeting and started the call for a new government and a demand for the third estate to have a role in the government. For Estates meeting remember that was the meeting the King called for the estates to advise him. Use your notes to explain that as well.

Instructions

Place the events in order and for each event describe in it one small paragraph. Describe
the event. List the leaders of each government/event and describe their politics as left, far left, right or far right. Left means they tend to go for the ideals that go along with rights for the people and for changes that take the country away from democracy. Right means that they want to stick with the older ideas and conventions and do not wish to change. Far right would mean wishing to restore the monarchy or something similar.

We will go over much of this in class tomorrow and you can find much of this online or in any academic resource like an encyclopedia. Expect more help from me here on the blog
