not all people hated Bastille. it was very useful for the 2nd estate, because they had the power to put anyone behind bars if they flt like it. but they consisted of only 2% of France's population. the third estate, which comprised of most french people, hated the Bastille because it stood as a symbol of supreme power of the monarch.
