SOCIAL STUDIES 9 THE DECLARATION OF THE RIGHTS OF MAN

THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY Louis the XVI eventually had to accept that the National Assembly would form the governing body of France. He ordered the 1 st and 2 nd Estates to join with the 3 rd Estate (all estates would have equal representation in government. All three estates were forced to work together to reform government in France. Significant differences between the estates prevent significant progress.

CHANGES UNDER THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY Abolishment of guilds and labor unions Abolition of special privileges Constitution of 1791 Declaration of the Rights of Man Equality before the law (for men) Many nobles left France and became known as émigr és Reforms in local government Taxes levied based on the ability to pay

REFORMS OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY The events in Paris and the countryside forced the National Assembly to act. Working into the night of August 4 th, delegates made many impassioned speeches in support of reform. By the end of the night, most feudal customs had been abolished. This marked the end of serfdom and tax exemption privileges of nobles.

THE DECLARATION OF THE RIGHTS OF MAN The Declarations was passed on August 26, It gave basic rights and freedoms to all of the men of France (but not yet women). Such rights included were liberty, property, security, and resistance to oppression.

DECLARATION OF THE RIGHTS OF MAN Freedom of religion Freedom of speech Freedom of the press Guaranteed property rights “Liberty, equality, fraternity!” Right of the people to create laws Right to a fair trial

Declaration of the Rights of Woman Journalist Olympe de Gouges argued in her Declaration of the Rights of Woman that women are equal citizens and should benefit from governmental reforms just as men did. Madame Jeanne Roland also served as a leader in the women’s rights movement, and was able to heavily influence her husband (a government official). Women did gain some rights during the French Revolution, but these were designed for purposes other than liberating women. Women could inherit property, but only because doing so weakened feudalism and reduced wealth among the upper classes. Divorce became easier, but only to weaken the Church’s control over marriage.

END OF SPECIAL PRIVILEGES Church lands were seized, divided, and sold to peasants Civil Constitution of the Clergy required that Church officials be elected by the people, with salaries paid by the government 2/3 of Church officials fled the country rather than swear allegiance to this All feudal dues and tithes were eradicated All special privileges of the First and Second Estates were abolished

REFORMS IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT The 30 provinces and their “petty tyrants” (Intendants) were replaced with 83 new departments Ruled by elected governors New courts, with judges elected by the people, were established

CONSTITUTION OF 1791 Democratic features France became a limited monarchy King became merely the head of state All laws were created by the Legislative Assembly Feudalism was abolished Undemocratic features Voting was limited to taxpayers Offices were reserved for property owners This new government became known as the Legislative Assembly

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY ( ) Royal family sought help from Austria In June, 1791, they were caught trying to escape to Austria Nobles who fled the revolution lived abroad as émigrés They hoped that, with foreign help, the Old Regime could be restored in France Church officials wanted Church lands, rights, and privileges restored Some devout Catholic peasants also supported the Church Political parties, representing different interests, emerged Girondists Jacobins
