---------------




Like French monarchs before him, King Louis XVI was an "absolute monarch".


The king claimed his throne directly from God in heaven. He ruled his realm by Divine Right. His power and authority were absolute   -   unquestioned, without limit or restriction.



To help settle the matter of the kingdom's financial debts, taxes would have to be levied.


The king selected 144 church figures and aristocrats to sit in the Assembly of Notables, a consultative body.

Estampe (burin) mise en couleur, gravée par Claude Niquet d'après un dessin de Very et Girardet, représentant l'Assemblée des notables tenue à Versailles le 22 février 1787.


The Assembly of Notables convened for the first time in 161 years, since 1626, in Versailles on 22 February 1787.

The Notables discussed taxation and local representation, suggested reforms and advised presenting them to another body, like the Estates General, for further consideration. 

King Louis XVI summoned the Estates General   -   to meet for the first time in 175 years, since 1614.

The inauguration of the Estates-General in Versailles on 5 May 1789.


By Auguste Couder.



The members of the Estates General represented the three branches, or estates, of society:


The First Estate were the clergy;


The Second Estate were the nobility;


The Third Estate were the plebes, the common people   -   commoners or "commons".


The First and Second Estates   -   the clergy and the nobility   -   were the ruling elite. The clergy and the nobility were the wealthiest and best educated members of society. They controlled much of the land and wealth.


The clergy, the biggest landowner, owned at least ten per cent of the land.


The Third Estate   -   the commoners, or 'commons'   -   were by far the largest Estate, representing 95 per cent of the population. Most of the common people were illiterate peasants.


But much had changed in 175 years. Among the commons in the Estates General were lawyers, notaries, government clerks, educated nobility and clergymen and some wealthy merchants.


Many of the commons and some of the clergy and nobility hoped the Estates General would draft a constitution, like the American constitution.


Each Estate elected its own representatives.


The Third Estate, representing the larger part of the population, demanded more representatives.


The king was not opposed to certain reforms. He agreed to double the number of the Third Estate. He assumed also that he could out-manoeuvre the Estates. 


The Estates, however, voted by block. Each Estate had one vote, regardless of the number of representatives present.

Thus, the nobility and the clergy, who numbered far fewer than the commoners, could out-vote the commons 2 to 1 on any matter.


Many hoped that each member of each Estate would have a vote. This would be more representative of the nation.

In such case, the commons would out-vote the clergy and the nobility.


In the end, the King agreed that each man could have one vote.


Each Estate met separately and also together with the other Estates to discuss matters.

Perceiving an attempt to prevent them from attending meetings with the other Estates, or holding their own meetings, in the Hôtel des Menus-Plaisirs, the Third Estate convened on a tennis court in Versailles on 20 June 1789 and declared they would henceforth meet as the National Assembly and conduct affairs of state with or without members of First and Second Estates.

Le roi: « Je vous ordonne, Messieurs, de vous séparer tout de suite et de vous rendre demain matin chacun dans les chambres affectées à votre ordre pour y reprendre vos séances. » 


Une heure après, le grand maître des cérémonies, Henri-Évrard de Dreux-Brézé, s'adresse à Bailly, doyen de l'Assemblée et du Tiers, pour lui rappeler l'ordre du roi.


Bailly à répondu: « La Nation assemblée ne peut recevoir d'ordre ».


Mirabeau ajoute: « Allez dire à ceux qui vous envoient que nous sommes ici par la volonté du peuple, et qu'on ne nous en arrachera que par la puissance des baïonnettes. »  (La formulation exacte n'est pas certain.)


Par Joseph-Désirée Court.


The King eventually agreed and from 9 July 1789 the three Estates met in one body as the National Constituent Assembly   -   Assemblée nationale constituante.

Milice bourgeoise


Concerned about spreading violence in Paris, the National Constituent Assembly, meeting in Versailles on 11 July 1789, discussed the need for a citizen militia, or garde bourgeoise, in Paris.


The National Constituent Assembly created the milice bourgeoise on 13 July.


The new militia would need arms.


The next day, on 14 July, a mob stormed the Hotel des Invalides and the Bastille Saint Antoine to get weapons for the new militia.

Allons enfants de la Patrie,
Le jour de gloire est arrive !
Contre nous de la tyrannie,
L'etendard sanglant est leve ! (bis)
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes
Mugir ces feroces soldats ?
Ils viennent jusque dans nos bras
Egorger nos fils et nos compagnes !

 

Refrain

 

Aux armes, citoyens !
Formez vos bataillons !
Marchons ! marchons !
Qu'un sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons !


Que veut cette horde d'esclaves,
De traitres, de rois conjures ?
Pour qui ces ignobles entraves,
Ces fers des longtemps prepares ? (bis)
Francais, pour nous, ah! quel outrage !
Quels transports il doit exciter !
C'est nous qu'on ose mediter
De rendre ? l'antique esclavage !

 

Refrain

 

Quoi ! ces cohortes etrangeres
Feraient la loi dans nos foyers !
Quoi ! ces phalanges mercenaires
Terrasseraient nos fiers guerriers ! (bis)
Grand Dieu ! par des mains enchainees
Nos fronts sous le joug se ploieraient !
De vils despotes deviendraient
Les maitres de nos destinees !

 

Refrain

 

Tremblez, tyrans et vous perfides,
L'opprobre de tous les partis,
Tremblez ! vos projets parricides
Vont enfin recevoir leurs prix ! (bis)
Tout est soldat pour vous combattre,
S'ils tombent, nos jeunes heros,
La terre en produit de nouveaux,
Contre vous tout prets ? se battre !

 

Refrain

 

Francais, en guerriers magnanimes,
Portez ou retenez vos coups !
Epargnez ces tristes victimes,
A regret s'armant contre nous. (bis)
Mais ces despotes sanguinaires,
Mais ces complices de Bouille,
Tous ces tigres qui, sans pitie,
Dechirent le sein de leur mere !

 

Refrain

 

Amour sacre de la Patrie,
Conduis, soutiens nos bras vengeurs !
Liberte, Liberte cherie,
Combats avec tes defenseurs ! (bis)
Sous nos drapeaux, que la victoire
Accoure a tes males accents !
Que tes ennemis expirants
Voient ton triomphe et notre gloire !

 

Refrain

 

Nous entrerons dans la carriere
Quand nos aines n'y seront plus;

Nous y trouverons leur poussiere
Et la trace de leurs vertus. (bis)
Bien moins jaloux de leur survivre
Que de partager leur cercueil,
Nous aurons le sublime orgueil
De les venger ou de les suivre !

In the Austrian Netherlands, an Austrian army was to take Lille.

A Piedmontese army was to attack in the south. 

The enemy forces on the Rhine were under the Duke of Brunswick. He had the backing of Britain and Austria. Brunswick issued a warning to the French: If any harm came to the French royal family, he warned, Paris would be sacked.

Comité de salut public

Committee of Public Safety


The Committee of Public Safety was created by the National Convention on 6 April 1793 and led by Danton.


Insurrection of 31 May – 2 June 1793

The Montagnards gain over the Girondins in the Convention


The Jacobins were a club formed in Versailles during the meetings of the Estates General in 1789.

The Jacobins included the comte de Mirabeau, the Parisian deputy Abbé Sieyès, Antoine Barnave, Jérôme Pétion, the Abbé Grégoire, Charles Lameth, Alexandre Lameth, the Robespierre brothers Maximilian and Augustin, the duc d'Aiguillon, La Revellière-Lépeaux, the prince de Broglie and the vicomte de Noailles.

The Jacobins were some of the most influential members of the national assemblies from 1789 to 1793.

Among the Jacobins and members of the assemblies and Convention, two factions dominated from 1789 to 1793. They were called the Girondins and the Montagnards. The started and carried out the Revolution and the execution of the king.

The Girondins were the most dominant.   

The Girondins and the Montagnards often opposed each other. The Girondins thought the purge of royalists and opponents of the Republic had gone far enough and had to be curbed. The Montagnards believed revolution and the purges had not gone far enough. 

Many believed the Revolution had not delivered on its promises.  

The Montagnards were the Robespierre brothers, Danton, Marat.

The two factions were headed for a showdown.

In Paris the sans-culottes and the Jacobins pressed the Girondins to deliver on their promises or step aside. In the Convention, the Montagnards out-manoeuvred the Girondins to gain control of the Convention and the Committee of Public Safety.

During uprisings in Paris on 27 and 31 May and 2 June 1793, François Hanriot, head of the National Guard, purged the Convention of Girondins.


La Terreur


Mai/juin 1793 - 30 juillet 1794


The Committee of Public Safety became the executive branch of government with broad dictatorial powers.

Montagnards overthrew the Girondists.

Maximilien Robespierre took over leadership of the committee on 27 July 1793.

Danton was excluded from the Committee. 

The purges were stepped up.  



French Revolution (1789-1799). The Committee of Public Safety ...


Montagnards eliminated Girondists.

Many in the provinces preferred the Girondists and opposed the Montagnards, who they considered too revolutionary and too dictatorial. 

Cities rose up against the Revolution and the Republic.

In the Mediterranean, Royalists seized the port city of Toulon, ousted the Republicans and occupied it with British and Spanish troops. A Republican army recaptured the port by the end of the year. 

Eventually, Montagnards eliminated each other.

The Committee of Public Safety ruled the government till 27 July 1794.
