1 Enlightenment, liberty and revolution - French Revolution - OpenLearn - The Open University on 2009-12-04
- Catherine the Great of Russia, once the darling of two of those leading figures,
  Voltaire and Diderot, was by 1794 voicing the suspicion ‘that the aim of the
  philosophes was to overturn all thrones, and that the Encyclopédie
  was written with no other end in view than to destroy all kings and all
  religions’
- In France, in the generation before the Revolution, almost every one of the
  king's ministers, provincial governors and bishops was a nobleman.
- 3 more annotations...
- - The watchword ‘liberty’ sums up the main slogan and aspiration of the
    Revolution: liberation from political despotism, social exclusion and
    discrimination.
  - The historian Francois Furet insists that the appeal of liberty, equality and
    fraternity, which proved so infectious, stemmed from what he calls the
    Revolution's ‘deepest motivating force: hatred of the aristocracy’
  - ‘in all countries the distinction between the noble or gentleman and the rest of
    the population was the cardinal fact of social life’ (Hampson, 1969, p. 55).

2.3 Fall of the Bastille, 14 July 1789 - French Revolution - OpenLearn - The Open University on 2009-11-20
- Louis XVI, alarmed both by this unrest and by the unexpected belligerence of the
  Third Estate, called troops into Paris to maintain order.
  - Janine Campbell on 2009-11-20
    
    Big mistake on Louis' part - imflamed the situation.
- From this moment we may consider France as a free country; the King a limited
  [that is, constitutional] monarch and the nobility as reduced to a level with
  the rest of the nation’
2.2 The Third Estate as the voice of the nation - French Revolution - OpenLearn - The Open University on 2009-11-19
- Four editions or 30,000 copies of the book came out within months of its
  appearance, at a time of heightened consciousness that great changes were afoot.
- conclusions critical of existing institutions.
- 4 more annotations...
- - He argued that sovereignty, or ultimate political power in a state, derives not
    from the monarch but from the ‘people’ or ‘nation’, that it must be exercised in
    their interest and for their benefit, that it should be controlled and
    circumscribed by laws, and that the ruler's tenure of office is in the nature of
    a trust exercised for the people's benefit and with their consent, underpinned
    by an implicit agreement or ‘social contract’
  - additional boost, first from the success of the American Revolution and the
    summoning of a constitutional convention by the United States in 1787, and now
    in France by the summoning of the Estates-General.
  - Sieyès's purpose is to isolate and marginalise the nobility in his readers’
    eyes, and to expose it to their critical censure. In the circumstances of 1789,
    his message took on startling implications about the respective roles of the
    nobility and the Third Estate in the Estates-General.
  - The significance of Sieyès's pamphlet lay in its ‘consciousness-raising’.
    Janine Campbell on 2009-11-19
    
    Similar to effect of Thomas Paine's 'Common Sense.'
2.1 The bankrupt monarchy - French Revolution - OpenLearn - The Open University on 2009-11-10
- The representatives of the Third Estate were mainly officials, lawyers,
  landowners and merchants.
- ‘nobody knew what the Estates-General would do … There was a complete vacuum of
  power. The French Revolution was the process by which this vacuum was filled’
