There are many things that changed and stayed the same for the better or worse in Frances society. One major change was that the first 2 estates were given less power, due to the revolution. French radicals, or revolutionaries didn’t like Christianity, this was because of Divine right. Divine right was much like before the Renaissance in Italy when people believed how you were born was how you were supposed to stay. The fist 2 estates did not have to do as much to support the society because they were high church officials and priests, nobles, as well as of course the king. After the revolution, the church lost more and more power as people started believing in forging their own path.  

This in turn also meant people could change for the better or worse. Another change in France was the Declaration of the Rights of Man, created in 1789 ensured that all people in France had a better chance at living a normal life. This changed many people’s lives because it meant others with innovative ideas could vote and change the way people saw themselves and the society they lived in.  

Although many things in France did change, some sadly stayed the same. One continuity was Monarchy, which was the main reason the revolution was started in the first place. Before the revolution kicked off France was ruled by a Monarch by the name of King Louis XVI, he made sure that everything that was done was done under his watch. He held absolute power and did not allow others to manipulate him. Although he thought he was trying to do the right thing he often was manipulated by his wife, Marie Antoinette, the famous Austrian queen of France. After Monarchy ended towards the end of the French revolution, Napoleon Bonaparte became a military leader. Although he started out helping the 3rd estate, he too longed to have more control and make himself emperor.  

In turn, after France circled back to Monarchy ordinary people, who wanted change had to go back to money problems and food problems. This meant that just like in the beginning not everyone had everything they needed.
