  1. The lessons that we apply from the french revolution is that a leader can't lead a country without the people and people can't lead a country at their own . So the people need a leader that they lead for a more equitable society .

  2. The enlightment has influenced all countries as the French Revolution happened so most societies are quite equitable . Although,this doesn't happen in every country today.So , I think if we want to make our society more equitable we should seek for our rights to education and we mustn't allow to someone having more power than us if that person doesn't use it properly or according to the laws . These are the efforts we can apply to make our society more equal for everyone.

  3. I think that French Revolution helped the development of democracy in France.Nowadays, people can help to make the society more equitable.For example,all people must gpay taxis,but today only people who don't have any kind of political force pay them.

  4. We can apply that from the ancient years the rich people liked to be bosses and the other people didn't have a lot of help.This is continued until now and most people like us are in a disappointed mood.

  5. The French Revolution helped society by teaching us that all the people have to pay the same taxis and we can't do exceptions because some people are stronger or powerful than the other normal people.They must also pay taxis because if they dont pay the people will take revenge.And we they will have bad results!

  6. The meaning that we can apply from the French Revolution is the organisation of society and that all the people must have equitable.Finally the French Revolution had big influence at democracy of Greece and at the creation of the law.

  8. The lessons that we took from the French Revolution are that we shouldn't think that some people are better than us just because they have more money or they are higher in command.All people are the same.Tey are all equal,they have the same rights and no one can violate them.Also all people must decide together for how to solve their problems like democracy.Everyone's thought,belief or decision matters.

  9. I believe that the Frensh Revolution is a very good example to understand that we must be gentle and more equitable and we mustn't think that we are better and stronger than others.Everybody must think before do something and don't make desisions for others because then people will take revenge!
