During the Gilded Age, 1876-1900, Congress was known for being rowdy and inefficient. It was not unusual to find that a quorum could not be achieved because too many members were drunk or otherwise preoccupied with extra-governmental affairs. The halls of Congress were filled with tobacco smoke, and spittoons were everywhere. One disgusted observer noted that not only did the members chew and spit incessantly, but their aim was bad. The atmosphere on the floor was described as an “infernal din.” The Senate, whose seats were often auctioned off to the highest bidder, was known as a “rich man's club,” where political favors were traded like horses, and the needs of the people in the working classes lay beyond the vision of those exalted legislators. The Senate dominated the federal government during the Gilded Age. Causing the world to react as if America wasn't under good control.

Explanation:
The French Revolution was a movement of the Third Estate (as the commoner class was known) against the elites who controlled all power in France. The 3rd Estate was the bulk of the people (98% of the population), all considered "commoners." (The clergy and nobility were the 1st and 2nd Estates.) So, the 3rd Estate included those from a wealthy, bourgeois wine merchant to a day laborer in the city or a peasant farmer in the countryside. The initial leaders of the Revolution came from a bourgeois background.
When the Revolution began, it was difficult for the bourgeois leaders to manage the new government in a way that met the concerns and demands of the poorer classes (city workers and rural peasants). So the discontent of the poor and the peasants were a problem for the French National Convention. So too was the rise of the Jacobin movement, a more radical group which challenged the more conservative Girondists for power. The "Girondists" were named after the Gironde region, a wine producing region. Wealthier bourgeois types (like wine merchants) were the sort of persons in the Girondist group. The Jacobins were adamant about establishing equality for all persons in France, whereas the Girondists at times seemed more concerned about protecting the interests of businessmen for the sake of a profitable business environment.
