They were looking to free prisoners because the fortress was well-known as a holding for political prisoners. They were also looking for inequalities of firearms and ammunition. The mob successfully did this in 1789.

Answer:

They wanted to free the prisoners in the Bastille. This is one answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question has multiple answers. One reason that I know is because they wanted to free the prisoners they think are in the Bastille. But this is such a doubtful question.
