Problems in France	Solutions proposed by the Jacobin Club	Solutions proposed by the Girondins	What I think:
-priests would sooner listen to the pope than listen to every day people	-all priests should be put on trial as enemies of the revolution!	-church land should be sold, and priests should be made into employees of the National Assembly.
-the king has way too much power in the old system	-the king should be executed for crimes against the people	-The king and the National Assembly should work together in a “constitutional monarchy”
-Rich people are moving away from France because they don’t like that the revolution takes away their privileges	-people who leave should be executed as enemies of the revolution	They should just be allowed to leave
Austria wants to fight a war	-we should not go to war because if we do, we could give the army more power than the National Assembly.	-we should go to war so that we can spread revolutionary ideas across all of Europe

The Charter of Rights and Freedoms

During the French Revolution, the National Assembly (the group which represented the people, especially the third estate) created a document that was meant to be the foundation of all the laws of the land. This document was called the "Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen." It guaranteed that when the constitution was made, no laws could come into effect which went against the universal rights of man. The document was based on the philosophical idea that all people are free, as both John Locke and Thomas Hobbes suggested. The writers of the "Declaration of he Rights of Man" agreed with Locke that free people could live together according to reason, and they thought that they could figure out (with reason) how people ought to live together. The document concluded that:

-Everyone over 25 should be able to vote
-Anyone should be able to work for the government no matter which estate they were from
-People should pay less taxes if they don't make as much money
-There should be free speech and freedom of the press (so that you could write what you wanted in the newspaper)

Think of one more right you think the french people should have if they are all free. Tweet that to your classmates.

Canada has a similar document called "The Charter of Rights and Freedoms." Read this handout explaining the charter:

And then print off this hand out and answer the questions.

Mr. Oyer, you are a member of the Third Estate, the lowest class in France. However, your estate is about to show the nobles and the clergy what the power of the people looks like.

Keeping in mind the events you have read about and watched on the video, tweet some of your thoughts and feelings to your classmates. A great idea would be to take a picture of your political cartoon and tweet it to your classmates. It's a great cartoon!

WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED MAKING YOUR TWITTER ACCOUNT:

1. send a tweet that expresses how you are feeling about the present circumstances in France.

2. Put in a picture of your character. Maybe a French peasant or something like that?

3. Read what your other classmates have tweeted.
