  • Summary

  • King Louis XVI announced the summoning of the Estates-General, but that did little to contain the kingdom's growing unrest. The Paris Parlement was ridiculed by the public for attempting to ensure the nobility dominated the body, while Necker struggled to grapple with the violent situation he faced as he determined how the Estates-General should be constituted. Finally, the French listed their grievances as they elected their delegates, giving us a snapshot into the thoughts of a nation on the brink of revolution.
