Answer 1

The French Revolution (French: Révolution française [ʁevɔlysjɔ̃ fʁɑ̃sɛːz]) was a period of far-reaching social and political upheaval in France that lasted from 1789 until 1799, and was partially carried forward by Napoleon during the later expansion of the French Empire. The Revolution overthrew the monarchy, established a republic, experienced violent periods of political turmoil, and finally culminated in a dictatorship under Napoleon that rapidly brought many of its principles to Western Europe and beyond. Inspired by liberal and radical ideas, the Revolution profoundly altered the course of modern history, triggering the global decline of absolute monarchies while replacing them with republics and liberal democracies. Through the Revolutionary Wars, it unleashed a wave of global conflicts that extended from the Caribbean to the Middle East. Historians widely regard the Revolution as one of the most important events in human history

Answer 2

3.absolute authority.

Step-by-step explanation:

Louis XIV reigned during a time of political, economic and social turmoil in France. The population was poor and in hunger at the same time that Louis made France spend money on many wars around the world and spend money with luxury. When Cardinal Mazarin died - he was France’s Prime Minister - Louis wanted to remain the sole ruler of France, he called himself the Sun King. This attempt to be a tyrannical ruler was also one of the reasons for the break out of the French Revolution.
