∙ 13y agoThe main cause of the French Revolution was that there was monarchy.The society was divided into 3 estates.1st estate consisted of clergies..2nd estate consisted of nobels..And..3rd estate consisted of buissnesmen,lawyers,teachers and peasents.There was a high tax imposed on commodities like bread.This tax was taken by the king from the peasents only not from the 1st and 2nd estate.Therefore,the 1st and 2nd estates enjoyed freedom and were given rights from their birth whereas the peasents didn't get any rights..It was obvious that the peasents found it unfair.The church also took tax from them like tithes and taille.And the most important reason was that during subsistence crisis,the taxes were increased
.That is why the educated 3rd estate people like JOHN LOCKE,and,JEAN JACQUES ROUSSEAU encouraged the peasents to start a revolution called THE FRENCH REVOLUTION.*
