Question

Do you think that the rights of “equality, liberty, and fraternity [to meet freely as a group]” in the American Revolution (c. 1765-1784) and the French Revolution (1789-1799) included everyone, or did it exclude some people? Discuss in relation to gender and race. 

Answer 1

Certain individuals were thought unfit for the new France. As a result, liberty, equality, and fraternity were to be denied to them. The Revolution also failed to live up to its own principles in foreign affairs.The peasants, who had been the most oppressed prior to the Revolution, were the Jacobins.
