Ok so I'm sure you guys have all seen this Pictures in your History textbook. For those of you who don't have History this trimester this is the guillotine. I t was invented as a form of execution because it was humane and everyone had an equal death. Death from the guillotine didn't show one person's power, wealth, social class or the lack of. After getting the perspective that is sentimental to the third estate in class, then getting a view from the aristocrat's side in my book, I wonder which side had more of a cause to the Revolution. In class we all learn that the Third estate rebelled because of unfair conditions. They were tired of producing all the food and paying all the taxes. However in my book the aristocrats think that the third estate was unreasonable. They kept them protected and made sure France had a good army to defend its boarders. I know i don't give you much to go on for the Aristocrats but who do you think had more of an impact in starting the Revolution? The helpless third estate? Or the annoyed aristocrats?

I haven't read what book you're reading from but I can see what this is about. I thought that the wealthy people had the death by guillotine, and I thought it did depend on our class.
