The third estate
Yes, people did have rights during the french revolution.
Yes the people had the support of the military during the French Revolution, and is the reason why Louis XVI was removed from power so quickly. The military was made up by the third estate and they obviously supported their own kind rather than the nobles and clergy from the first and second estate.
The execution machine invented during the French Revolution is the guillotine.
the third estate
The second estate, or the nobility. These people are the only one who are allowed the right of carrying the sword.
middle class people
The middle class people of France were known as the bourgeoisie. They represent the wealthiest social class, and are identifiable by their ownership of capital. In France, they represented the Third Estate, and were forced to shoulder the expenses of the first two estates prior to the French Revolution.
Most of the women of the third estate had to work for a living. They worked as seamstresses, laundresses, sold flowers, fruits and vegetables at the market, or were employed as domestic servants in the houses of prosperous people.
During the French revolution, the bourgeoisie represented the 3rd estate of the Estates General. The 1st one was the Clergy (the church and all its representatives) and the 2nd was the nobility.
Scissors ? I suppose scissors was used during the French Revolution. But if you think about the device used to behead people : it is called the Guillotine.
