I have to write a paper on how the objectives and ideals of the men and women who participated in the French Revolution changed over the course of it's duration (1789-1799).

It's easy, but I just don't feel like writing.

Yeah, I don't really want to go back to school; or do any of my homework today. It's not that bad though, just like 50 pages of text that I have to powernote that are due Tuesday.

I'm kind of ready to go back to work though, I have an interview today at a pizza place. Met with one of the managers last night and am meeting the second today. Should be go smooth though. I'm ready to have a paycheck coming in every 2 weeks, even though I don't really need it.

I have to go get my oil changed, then head over to my girlfriend's grandma's house for their belated Thanksgiving.

At least half of my paper is done-

On June 20th, 1789 the old regime of France was given a wound that would prove ultimately fatal, when the Third Estate swore an oath to not disband until a new constitution was written. This oath started a revolution in France that would last until 1799. The chain of events that followed the Oath of the Tennis Court would cause a change in the objectives and ideals of the revolution. When the Third Estate took the Oath of the Tennis Court, the objectives in mind were economic stability and liberty. Both of these were accompanied by similar demands for financial aide for those who needed it, and gender equality. But, when the control of the revolution experienced a change of hands, it also experienced a change in these ideals and objectives. This change would alter the ideals and objectives in a way which would turn them more and more nationalistic and republican in nature. However, despite these changes in objective and ideal, the objective remains to better the nation of France and the ideal remains as liberty.

The cause of the French Revolution can be traced to, mainly, a growing distaste for the “Old Regime” who's absolutist policies oppressed the increasingly enlightened Third Estate. But the infringement on liberties that were demanded more and more every day was not the only cause of the Revolution. This distaste for the Old Regime was the fuel, and the economic failure of French would prove to be the spark. Coupled with the already failing economy, the bad grain harvest in 1788 hit the already oppressed poor harder. With the sharp increase in the price of bread, came the sharp decrease in demands for manufactured goods. So now, not only were the poor hit hard, but so were the artisans. By 1789, 150,000 of the 600,000 inhabitants of Paris were out of work. Half of France now needed aide. This situation is embodied in Document 1. It shows the cry from the poor for aide, from the untaxed First and Second Estates. However, this is an angry cry. As the document demands more and more concessions from the rich, the titles it gives them become more and more caustic- the “opulent”, and then the “bloated”. Document 1 shows two things. One, it shows not only the bad situation of the conditions faced by most French citizens prior to the Revolution (April 1789, assuming you consider the Oath of the Tennis Court the beginning of the Revolution.), but the growing distaste for the rich that would lead to the revolution. Accounting for this distaste, we must also recognize the potential bias in the document. Since there is obvious disgust towards the comparison of living conditions between the rich and poor of France, the facts may be skewed as well. The document is also from the point of view of the “fourth” Estate, so the demands for concessions solely from the rich is obviously purely in their favor. Self-interest is a common skewer of reality. Moving onward, the document also shows that those who are seeking reform don't wish to change the government so drastically as to get rid of the King. There is no mention of toppling the monarchy. The primary objective embodied in this document is for economic reform, and the ideal economic justice. But it is important to note that those in favor of this reform do not wish to get rid of their sacred monarchy.

Those in favor of reform, notably the Third Estate, was not only in favor of economic reform. But economic reform was the reason the Estates General were assembled for the first time since 1614 in 1787. However, fueled by increasing tensions between the three estates, the debate over economic reform quickly turned into a debate of political reform. The Third Estate, now called the National Assembly, on June 20, 1789 swore to not disperse until a new constitution had been written. But Louis XVI had other plans, and fired many of his liberal ministers and ordered the National Assembly to disperse at bayonet point. This could not stop the out cry for liberty. The first step to the new French Constitution would be the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen. Document 2, part of the preamble to the declaration outlines the political objectives and ideals at the beginning of the revolution. The basis of their reform, at least politically, is that “the ignorance, neglect, or contempt of the rights of man are the sole causes of public calamities and of the corruption of governments”. These rights of men are summed up by the First Article of The Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen- “Men are born and remain free and equal in rights. Social distinctions can be founded only on the common utility.” The ideal shown in Document 2 is political equality, and the objective achieving this political equality. Document 3 is a restating of the Preamble to the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen (Document 2), but it's focused on women. Written in 1791, in shows how the cry for political equality not only became more widespread, but more radical in some cases. This is not the only French document de Gouges imitated, writing her own Social Contract- on the gender-equality of marriage the same year as The Declaration of the Rights of Woman and the Female Citizen. This rhetorical style is also found in the future women's rights movements of Antebellum America (Stanton's Declaration of Sentiments). This feminist cry for gender equality, amongst cries for political equality (for men), is a radical one. Like her literary works, de Gouges herself was a radical who met her fate at the blade of the guillotine in 1793. This radical thought shows the extent of political ideals of the revolution, and objectives, but doesn't do well to represent them as a whole. This radical bias makes Document 3 an only slightly effective document.

in an arizona school district, a school was trying to save money ontheir budget, so instead of cutting the teacher's salaries, or laying off teachers, they extended the school week from monday - thursday. each day however, was longer hours, and the teachers still make the same
