The French Revolt (Again)

Hey everyone, this is Dalton, with another post about the French revolting and cutting everyone's heads off. However, that's not entirely what the French revolution was about. There were three main principles of the French Revolution (1789 to 1799). Well, food prices were skyrocketing and people weren't getting the civil rights they needed to function as a society. So people started cutting everyone's heads off (again), and demanded three things: Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity. But how would they get these three rights? Well, the way that their system worked was that there would be three votes: one from nobility, one from people who had positions in the church, and one from everyone else. As you may be guessing, there were a lot more normal people than priests and nobility, so everyone else wanted their votes to count for more. So to show their independence, they stormed a prison,decapitated the prison guard, and let some insane people and murderers out.

This all happened while Napoleon was becoming commander for France’s artillery , so what was the situation of the Church in France after Napoleon came to power? Well, before Napoleon, the Catholic Church had quite a bit of property and control over the country. That is, until Napoleon came along. The Catholic Church was reorganized entirely, stripped of its land, and not given the choice to elect church authority. That would be assigned by the country officials. This shows that the French Materialists must have been very displeased with the situation of the Church and country before the revolution.
