Answer:

1. There was a boom in population. It caused a shortage of food and unemployment

2. It was used when the King had problems in France. The voting was taken by party and the clergy and nobles always shared the same voting, always making it 2 vs 1.

3. When the 3rd estate left outside in the tennis court. They vowed to not stop trying until a new constitution was written.

4. On October 4, 1789, a crowd of women demanding bread for their families gathered other discontented Parisians, including some men, and marched toward Versailles, arriving soaking wet from the rain... The King agreed to meet with some of the women and promised to distribute all the bread in Versailles to the crowd.

6. Wanted a constitutional monarchy, but they thought the office-holders and voters could be men of property.

7.The Revolution became more radical because the French were losing badly in their war with Austria and Prussia. The radicals believed that if they lost the war, they would be punished and the monarchy and old Regime would be put back in place.

8.

9.When the guillotine was instated, it was considered an egalitarian way to dispatch justice in capital cases, unlike the old system that was unapologetically biased towards the upper class. Before the guillotine, aristocrats underwent relatively painless executions by being beheaded, either by ax or by sword.

10The Committee of Public Safety created a new calendar and a new state religion called the Cult of the Supreme Being. They suppressed Christianity and even executed a group of nuns who refused to renounce their faith.
