KEYWORDS Social strata Sans-culottes Constitution Liberalism Nationalism 1.1. THE ANCIEN RÉGIME In 1789 there was a revolution in France as a result of many causes that gathered at the same time. The social, economical, political and cultural situation that preceded its outbreak was named Ancient Regime. By the late eighteenth century the French population was mostly rural and it was organized in social strata hierarchy inherited from the Middle Ages. Like in the rest of European countries, society was divided into three immobile estates determined by birth conditions: The fi rst estate was the clergy, the second estate was the nobility and the third was made up by peasants, wage earners, craftsmen and bourgeoisie. The social criterion bases were land ownership, access to culture, work and taxes. On the one hand clergy and nobility were a minority, but they enjoyed a lot of privileges: They had their own courts and held charges in the army; they possessed land and paid no taxes, so they could get higher and higher incomes. Both groups had almost complete authority over peasants, who had to pay them for working their lands and using their mills, forges, roads and bridges. In these conditions the privileged strata didn’t need to work, so they had plenty of time to read, play games, hunt and develop a peculiar way of life. On the other hand, the third estate, which was composed by the majority of the population, had to work to survive. As peasants had to pay taxes to their lord, the king and the Church, they couldn’t earn enough money to possess lands, and most of them were illiterate because they had no free time. The situation of the bourgeoisie was quite diff erent from the rest of the third estate. It was an urban group composed by merchants and bankers who were richer and better educated than the peasants, but despite their economic power they didn’t enjoy privileges like the nobility and the clergy. Activity 1. Label these images according to the information from the social strata and identify each estate …………………… …………………… ……………….. …...........………………… Tithe A tenth part of crops that peasant had to pay to the Church Whereas in the countryside there was a survival economy based on agriculture of subsistence, crop rotation with fallow and old technology, the situation in the cities had begun to be quite diff erent due to the colonial trade, which made bourgeoisie enrich and be diff erent from the rest of the unprivileged estate. As transportation infrastructures and communications by roads and rivers were poor and old, exchanges between craftsmen and peasants were occasional. There was a short-distance trade based on bartering and fairs near the countryside, but at the same time some ports became the main points in a triangular trade which connected Europe, America and Africa. Activity 2. Write sentences to explain this draft about triangular trade using the words in the boxes.

Louis XVI and his wife, Marie Antoinette, lived in great luxury in the palace of Versailles displaying too much wealth while most of the French population was extremely poor and had serious problems to survive, especially when harvests failed and peasants couldn’t feed their families because they had to pay taxes to the privileged estates. Activity 3. Analyse the following information and make a list of the reasons why many people were very critical of higher classes A) “I was joined by a poor woman who complained B) Yearly incomes compared. about the times. Her husband had only a small piece of land, one cow and a poor horse. But they Archbishop of Paris 50,000 livres had to pay 20kg of wheat and three chickens as Marquis de Mainvillette 20,000 livres feudal dues to one lord, and 60kg of oats, one Prince de Conti 14,000 livres chicken and fi ve pence to another, along with A Paris parish priest 10,000 livres very heavy taxes to the king’s tax collectors: The A typical village priest 750 livres taxes and feudal dues are crushing us.” A master carpenter 200 livres Travels in France – Arthur Young, 1792 The livre was replaced by the franc in 1795. In the 1780s, there were about 4 livres to £1 C) “The People should have power, 1775. Man is born free. No man has any natural authority over others; force does not give anyone that right. The power to make laws belongs to the people and only to the people”. A pamphlet, banned by the French government in 1775, Jean Jacques Rousseau. D) BUDGET IN FRANCE IN 1788.
