Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Edmund Burke's views of the unfolding revolution in France changed during the course of 1789. In August he was praising it as a 'wonderful spectacle', but weeks later he stated that the people had thrown off not only 'their political servitude' but also 'the yoke of laws and morals'.
