Their resentment for the proceeded aristocrats increased exponentially. These were peasants all the way to artisans. Before discussing the financial problems, though, they had to agree on how to vote.
The first two estates wanted to have one vote for each estate, meaning the top two could always outvote the third, but the third estate wanted to vote proportional to size head count. Then they would have a greater say. When this debate reached a stalemate, the third estate decided to create their own constitution: The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, that focused on Equality and how every man deserves to be treated fairly since they all must contribute to society.
It outlined duties and rights of every man. Of course, this was a relatively peaceful development that brought together a "brotherhood".

When the peasants in the countryside heard what had happened in Paris, they. They did this by burning the manor houses of their landlords and destroying the feudal registers. These registers were the only proof on paper of the feudal relationship between the peasants and their landlords.
When they were destroyed, it was easy for the National Assembly to do away with the feudal rights of the Second Estate. On 26 August the National Assembly started to create a constitution by drawing up the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen almost like a Bill of Rights. This contained liberal ideas of human rights and how people should be ruled.
But the king was still an absolute ruler, and before the Declaration could be put into practice, the king had to accept it. He did not want to do this, until angry masses marched to his palace at Versailles to demand that he accept the Declaration. Fearing that they would take the palace over like they did with the Bastille, he quickly gave in and accepted the demands.
Many nobles had also given in to the demands of the Third Estate, and had given up their feudal rights.

Moderate: average, not extreme. Radical: thorough, drastic, extreme. Feudal registers: Documents in which feudal relationships were recorded - which Peasants "belonged" to which lord, and in which village they lived. After the First Moderate Stage, the bourgeoisie wanted the Revolution to end with them in power. But the rest of the Third Estate and the masses were not satisfied.
Although the new constitution said that any man over 25 could get voting rights, voters had to earn a certain amount of money. Most people did not earn enough money to get these rights. They felt that their lives had not really changed, but that now they had a new unfair master. The bourgeoisie had replaced the aristocracy and now dominated the poor people. Monarch: The highest ruler in a state, usually a king or emperor.
In this lesson it means the king. Republic: A state that is not governed by a monarch, but where citizens have a say in how they are governed. The king then sought help from kings in neighboring countries to get rid of the revolutionaries. Austria and Prussia then attacked France. The French people blamed the king for this, and took all his power away. France did not have a monarch anymore, and became a republic.
In January the French King was killed at the guillotine. Maximilien Robespierre, the man who was responsible for the Reign of Terror. The new group that came into power was called the Jacobins. They came from the masses, and wrote a new constitution.
Under this constitution all men over 25 years old would have voting rights no matter how much money they had. The Jacobins used violence to stay in power and killed those who did not support or agree with them.
They killed the aristocracy in big public displays, so that the other people could see how they dealt with their enemies. The man who was responsible for these deaths was Maximilien Robespierre. His terror and violence grew so great that even people who did support the Jacobins were killed. Finally, the people decided that they had had enough. The Reign of Terror had shown that although the Jacobins had saved the republic, the radical way in which they did it was against the ideas of civil freedom how could people be free if they were killed for disagreeing with the government?
But the Revolution was not finished yet. Once again, the members of the bourgeoisie were in power, and their government was called the Directorate. In they drew up another constitution, one that re-instated the qualifications for voting rights that were in the first constitution Bourgeoisie: A group of people who were part of the Third Estate but were educated, professional and rich, unlike the peasants and urban workers. During this last moderate phase no major changes were made and the economic problem was not solved.
Pressure from the masses from the one side, and from those still supporting a monarchy on the other, continued. The foreign armies were still a threat. The generals became more and more powerful and gained more influence within the country.
French armies, especially those led by young general Napoleon Bonaparte, were making progress in nearly every direction. In the face of this rout, and having received word of political upheavals in France, Napoleon returned to Paris.
With Napoleon at the helm, the Revolution ended, and France entered a fifteen-year period of military rule. Even though Napoleon was an autocratic leader, the ideas of the French Revolution did not totally end when he took power.
