Answer:

The reasons are all equal

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The poor were starving and told to eat cake (which was basically saying if you are starving and have no dinner, just eat dessert instead) and this made them angry and caused the "Women's March." This was when a group of peasant women took axes, and pitchforks, and torches and marched through to capitol to protest the sky high price of bread.

B) The Upper Class got one vote (even though they were only 1% of the population), the Middle Class got one vote (even though they were only 10% of the population) and the Lower class got one vote (even though they were 89% of the population). Thus, the Upper and Middle classes voted for the Lower class to have to pay all of the taxes. This, along with the fact that the ruler were living in extravagant luxury, helped fuel the French Revolution.

C) Once the American Colonies had overthrown England, the French had a lot of hope for their own Revolution and had the morale to carry it out.
