5. Choose three of the main events of the French Revolution listed below. Explain whether each event moved France closer to a re
presentative government or further away from it and why. (a) Representatives of the Third Estate declare themselves the National Assembly.
(b) A mob storms the Bastille.
(c) The Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen is written.
(d) The National Assembly is replaced with the National Convention, which writes a constitution allowing all males to vote.
(e) Thousands of nobles are executed during the Reign of Terror.
(f) A third constitution gives power to a Directory and limits voting to property-owning males.
(g) Napoleon takes power from the unpopular Directory in a coup d'état.
(h) Napoleon names himself Emperor of the French.
B; is closer because it ended the french monarchy, leading to the Representative government. C; moved it closer, because basic human rights gave the people freedom from tyranny of the government, which was essential to the democracy. D; moved it closer, because enabling people governmental desires, is needed for the government to even exist. Giving all citizens the right to vote was indeed essential to the making of the republican government. H; moved it away considering he way a terrible ruler, and didn't rule fairly or equally. and i am afraid all i know after that is A, F, H, G, and E moved it farther, and B,C, and D moved it closer. Hope this helped.
