How was the march on Versailles related to democracy?
The Women's Bread March on Versailles was a popular grass roots protest which sought to gain the attention of the crown to the plight of the poor in Paris. The March on Versailles showed that women had political influence, and represented a step towards equality for every man and woman. The March of Versailles happened on October 5th, 1789, and was one of the earliest events of the French Revolution. A crowd of mostly women walked the 12 miles from Paris to Versailles, and demanded that the Royal Family come to Paris and that the price of bread be lowered. Two guardsmen were killed and their heads mounted on pikes, and Marie Antoinette was nearly killed. The monarchy submitted to the mob's wishes. This was particularly significant because it showed that the lower class of the 3rd Estate was a political force to be reckoned with. It may be the first time the French people rebelled against their government.
