Before the French Revolution, France faced many problems, such as famine, high taxes, high food prices, and an absolute monarchy unable to solve the problems. Compared to the nobility and clergy, the bourgeoisie and peasants were taxed at a ridiculously high level. It is therefore clear that at this time, there was the feeling that the third estate bore the burden of repaying France's debt. So, due to this unfair treatment and their knowledge of enlightened thought, the Bourgeoisie sought to end the classes and their lack of representation by forming the National Assembly. The peasants, on the other hand, were not driven by the same objectives. When they decided to revolt, it was not for political or social reasons like the bourgeoisie, but rather because of high food prices and anger towards the clergy and nobility who were feasting during times of famine.

However, the bourgeoisie was more effective in leading change during the Revolution because it had "enlightened" goals such as the end of classes and absolute monarchy, rather than the instinctive goals of the peasants to rebel. out of anger against hope. to lower food prices and end famine. This applies to the world as a whole because it reiterates that the most effective changes are achieved through assertive action rather than aggressive action..
