Hello everybody. In today's news, 13th November of 2018, we will go back in time to know what happened during the French Revolution. 00:00:00
This period was divided in four phases. The National and Constituent Assembly, the Legislative Assembly, the Republic and the Directory and Consulate. 00:00:17
This took place from 1789 to 1804. 00:00:26
Today we are going to focus on the Constituent Assembly that took place from June of 1789 to September of 1791. 00:00:31
Now I will go back in time. See you soon. 00:00:41
Hello, we are here in Paris. Oh no, we are in Prehistory. Sorry for the mistake. Now we will be in Paris. 00:01:01
Hello, I'm here in Paris in 1789. 00:01:09
The third state asked for a new voting system in which its representatives would vote individually. 00:01:20
The king refused, so the third state declared that, as the true representative of the nation, it was forming a national assembly. 00:01:27
After that, a new constituent assembly was formed to write a constitution. 00:01:36
This was a triumph for the Burgois because the monarchy was no longer absolute. 00:01:41
Okay, now we are going to go with our correspondent of the attack of the Bastille, Sandra González. 00:01:47
Thank you, Martín. Good morning, everyone. Today I'm going to be talking about the attack to the Bastille. 00:01:54
The 14th of July of 1789, a state prison on the east side of Paris, known as the Bastille, 00:02:01
was attacked by a furious and aggressive multitude. 00:02:10
This prison was a symbol of the monarchy's dictatorial rule. 00:02:14
The event became one of the defining moments in the revolution that followed. 00:02:18
When the prison was attacked, it held only seven prisoners, but the multitude had not 00:02:24
gather for them. It had come to demand a huge ammunition store held within the prison walls. 00:02:30
When the prison governor refused to comply, the multitude charged and, after a violent 00:02:38
battle, eventually took hold of the building. The governor of the Bastille was chased and 00:02:43
killed, and his head was carried round the streets on a spike. In France, the Storming 00:02:50
of the bastille is still celebrated each year by a national holiday. Today the 14th of july of 1789 00:02:56
we are here in paris to see the famous revolts that happened in order to attack the bastille. 00:03:14
As you can see there is a lot of people gathered here protesting for their rights. 00:03:21
You have to be very careful because they can attack you. Good morning France here we are in 00:03:26
After the storming of the Bastille, the popular revolt spread from Paris to other cities and also the countryside, 00:04:02
where peasants attacked the homes of the nobility, banned their achieves and refused to pay federal duties. 00:04:09
The revolts are known as the Great Fear, Grand Père in French. 00:04:15
The causes of these riots are the economic concerns, rural panic and the power of rumour. 00:04:19
Many peasants responded by arming themselves and mobilizing to defend their poverty. 00:04:26
Some went farther and engaged in revolutionary violence, taking to the road, looting the châteaux of landed aristocrats and destroying federal contracts. 00:04:32
Few people were killed during the Great Fear. However, property worth millions of livres was either stolen or destroyed. 00:04:41
Hello, my name is Gea and I'm going to talk about the abolishment of federal privileges. 00:04:49
The abolition of the feudal system took place during the famous initiation of the National Assembly on August the 4th in 1789. 00:04:55
In response to these events, the Constitutional Assembly passed a range of legal reforms which they hoped would satisfy the demands of the pleasantries and urban masses. 00:05:06
A letter said that property of all kinds was a prey to the most criminal violence. 00:05:19
On all sides, castles were being burned, convents destroyed and farms abandoned to pillage. 00:05:27
The taxes of feudal dues all were extinct. 00:05:35
The laws were without force and the magistrates without authority, with the hope of pacifying 00:05:40
and encouraging people. 00:05:46
The Assembly, in a fervor of enthusiasm and excitement, straight away abolished many of 00:05:48
the ancient abuses. 00:05:55
They abolished feudal privileges and the tithes paid by the Pleasantry to the clergy. 00:05:58
The Assembly also established equality in the payment of taxes. 00:06:05
A big part of the clergy and nobles were discontent with this measure, became country revolutionaries 00:06:10
and began a campaign to defeat the revolution. 00:06:16
Good morning everyone. 00:06:21
I'm going to talk about the Declaration of the Rights of Men and Citizens. 00:06:22
The National Assembly also wrote the Declaration of Rights of Men and Citizens. 00:06:27
This document puts Enlightenment ideas into practice. 00:06:33
These are some articles of it. 00:06:37
Men are born and remain free and equal in rights. 00:06:41
Liberty consists of the freedom to do anything which does not harm others. 00:06:44
All men are innocent until proven guilty. 00:06:50
No man may be disturbed for his opinions, not even for his religious beliefs. 00:06:54
This is a primary source because it was written during that age. 00:07:00
It is one of the basic laws of human liberties, containing the principles that inspired the French Revolution. 00:07:05
Its 17 articles objected between August the 20th and the August 26th in 1789. 00:07:13
My friends, National Assembly serves as the parable to the Constitution of 1791. 00:07:25
As we have mentioned before, in 1791 the Assembly approved the Constitution which established 00:07:39
A constitutional monarchy, in which the powers of the monarch were limited by a constitution. 00:07:45
Limited made to trades only made with certain amounts of property could vote. 00:07:51
The separation of powers. The monarch had executive power, the assembly had legislative power, and the courts had judicial power. 00:07:57
Now, let's go back to the filter. 00:08:05
Oof, they are so aggressive. 00:08:13
To sum up, the main principles of the French Revolution was that all men should be free 00:08:23
and equal before the law. 00:08:28
This led to different revolts and raids such as the storming of the Bastille or the Great 00:08:30
Fair, and different social reforms as it is the case of the abolishment of feudal privileges, 00:08:35
and then the declaration of the rights of the citizens and constitution. 00:08:43
you for watching this episode of a living time tomorrow we will see you with prehistory 00:08:47
or there's a problem with the time machine see you soon 00:08:56
