To what extent did feudalism contribute to the french revolution

History
1 answer:
Leto [7]3 years ago
7 0

I can't really answer your question (as I don't really know enough about 18th century France), but I just want to clear up an (understandable) misconception about Feudalism in your question.

The French revolution was adamant and explicit in its abolition of 'feudalism'. However, the 'feudalism' it was talking about had nothing at all to do with medieval 'feudalism' (which, of course, never existed). What the revolutionaries had in mind, in my own understanding of it, was the legally privileged position of the aristocracy/2nd estate. This type of 'feudalism' was a creation of early modern lawyers and, as a result, is better seen as a product of the early-modern monarchical nation-state, than as a precursor to it. It has nothing to do with the pre-nation-state medieval period, or with the Crusades.

Eighteenth-century buffs, feel free to chip in if I've misrepresented anything, as this is mostly coming from my readings about the historiographical development of feudalism, not any revolutionary France expertise, so I may well have misinterpreted things.

Marianna [84]

Answer:

When OPEC was formed in 1960, its main goal was to prevent its concessionaires—the world's largest oil producers, refiners, and marketers—from lowering the price of oil, which they had always specified, or “posted.” OPEC members sought to gain greater control over oil prices by coordinating their production and export

Do you agree or disagree? Julius Caesar committed treason by crossing the Rubicon. why?
olga55 [171]
Julius Caesar did indeed commit treason by crossing the Rubicon because it was legally proscribed that if any army-leading general crossed the boundary it would start a coup d'etat which was strictly forbidden. Because of the crossing, it started the Roman Civil War.
