the French revolution, in general was extremely significant since in Europe, it could be seen that the state could be run without an absolute king.

the absolution of the monarchy, meant that a constitutional government could run the society.

Let's bear in mind that, the French revolution occurred in 1789, 8 years after the American Revolution, where the Americans set up a Republican government, mind you that the American Revolutionaries many of them were Enlightment-leaned, Jefferson being the most notorious.

so, from the Enlightment movement, one can see Liberty Leading the People, namely monarchy-free people can, as Rousseau would say, run the affairs themselves and be more effective and more freedom-enhancers than a monarchical system, or a church-based one.

so, the French Revolution occurred in the middle of the Enlightment movement and thus directly affected by it, just like the American, and as the motto of the Enlightment have it, "be courageous and use your mind to free yourself from the self-imposed chains", it showed that folks, in an organized fashion, can run the show more effectively than an absolute monarch.

In the US some people believe controls necessary while others believe gun rights should not be restricted what is the effect of

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

I mean debate can encourage new laws but if you have one side wishing for laws and the other against it. It will usually slow legislation which is entirely the purpose. But it depends on what view are you taking it from because th end result can be no legislation at all or even a relaxation of legislation in fact that's happened in some states. So it depends on the view and narrative you wish to push. because it can be a semblance of all but B. If you're a centrist you'd probably say this debate will encourage new laws but the whole point of not wishing for infringements upon one's rights means no new laws. If you wanted new laws then this debate is a waste of time but you're angering a large portion of the population because you seek not to listen to the statistics and thereby information one may have that may dissuade from the legislation. And if you look at D it can be so. If 2 cannot agree then rights will not be infringed upon. Unless the side with more representatives that disagrees with the right then such laws will be enacted. Yes, they can place new restrictions and there you can make the case it's unconstitutional and etc because well there is ground and a foundation laid upon there. But as far as an actual thing it'd be A I suppose. But I'd question the teacher because it depends on how one views a division. It can be either cooperative relationships that can be mended or an all or nothing if it's not my way then we will have conflict and it shall erupt. It all depends.
