The answer is True.
When creating the legislative branch, representation was an issue that was argued over constantly. The small states, like New Jersey, wanted all states to have the same representation regardless of their states population. However, big states like Virginia wanted states with more population to have more power. These two sides come to a compromise (called the Connecticut Compromise) which states that the amount of representatives in the House will be based on population while every state will have 2 senators in the Senate.
There was absolute monarchy reigning in France in the XVIII century. The power was concentrated in hands of the First and Second Estate, while the Third Estate did not have enough influence to participate in governing the country. Such a situation led to the discontent of middle, lower and working class that wanted to be heard. Consequently, the French Revolution of 1789-1799 pursued the following goals: reaching justice and equality in society, limiting power of the monarchy and aristocracy, extending influence of the lower class, creating a constitution. Not all the goals were achieved but there was a great success on the way to reaching them.
King Louis XVI was forced to provide the Third Estate with power and influence by the storm of Bastille. Bastille is the largest and the most famous French prison, which had been a symbol of suppression of lower classes for ages. A group of commoners dared storm the prison on 14th of July in 1789. This event provided the Third Estate with more power.
However, freedom and equality were not reached. The Third Estate developed and introduced the Civil Constitution, which appeared quite radical, providing the lower class with rights and freedom and limiting influence of monarchy and aristocracy. This means that the French Revolution succeeded in getting rights and relative freedom for the lower class but it did not reach the whole goal. For example, freedom for slavery in French colonies led to a disaster because slaves did not know what to do when they got this freedom.
Despite of all the achievements, the French Revolution gradually failed. The Third Estate, which was named the National Assembly, tried to protect the ideas of revolution and to save own power by pursuing people, who criticized the revolt, sentencing them to prisons and to death. This led to mistrust and disappointment of the lower class. To sum up, the French Revolution was not successful at reaching all the goals but it was a great step to creating a democratic society, which influenced history of the whole humanity.

Answer:
In short, the factor that caused the great recession was overproduction, which was not prepared for the lack of demand, and ended up with all the goods stopped without any consumer buying them.
Explanation:
When the First World War came to an end, some European countries were weakening their economies, while the United States grew more and more, profiting from the export of food and industrialized products.
As a result, North American production became accustomed to this growth, which increased day by day, especially between the years 1918 and 1928. It was a scenario with many jobs, low prices, high production in agriculture and the expansion of credit that encouraged unbridled consumerism.
The problem for the United States was that Europe began to reestablish itself, which led to less and less import from the United States.
Now the American industry could no longer sell the exaggerated quantity of goods, with more supply of products than demand. This has led to a fall in prices, a fall in production, and consequently an increase in unemployment. These factors led to a fall in profits and a halt in trade, leading to a stock market crash and causing the great recession.
