Ok...
The changes in the last 10 years have been astronomical. The Microsoft Program has changed from a simple 20ghz computer (2001-2005). To a "simple" (quote from Bill Gates in his opening statement about the new 100ghz computer) 100ghz gaming hp intel power microsoft windows cpu. The changes in this last 10 to 20 years has been amazing! Alas, some of the "new" changes of this time have come at a "price." For example, the new president of the United States, Donald Trump, his election could be a good thing for America. Unfortunately, since the election of him, the country has been at a up rise against the election of the president. The change that could be good for America, has its good and bad consequences.
A good thing that has changed since the "old days" is the one and only technology. Technology has perks and quirks, but the perks out weigh the quirks by a ton. Technology has changed so much that what we didn't have in 2004, a simple 100ghz gaming hp intel power microsoft windows cpc, is now out and can be used for the people of today.
Change is a good thing, but to much change could be bad also. If we just had the right amount of change when we need it things could go just right.

In my opinion it should be Congress

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.
The population decreased due to the people having to move and relocate
