French Revolution Aftermath Events
Use the timeline and the evidence in each question to explain how revolutionary ideas and events changed France. Write in complete sentences for explanation questions.
Ideas Become Events
1.In August 1789, the National Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. Which set best describes ideas it advanced?
- Equality before the law, individual rights, and sovereignty resting with the nation
- Hereditary privilege, absolute royal authority, and rule by the clergy
- Voting rights for every person, including women, and the abolition of all property
- A return to feudal dues and separate laws for each social estate
2.In October 1789, thousands of women marched from Paris to Versailles. Explain two immediate concerns that helped prompt the march and describe one political result.
3.The Constitution of 1791 kept a king but limited his authority and created a legislature. Complete the statement: France changed from an absolute monarchy to a monarchy.
Follow the Turning Points
4.Use the timeline to order these events chronologically. Write the event names in order: Louis XVI executed (21 January 1793); Constitution of 1791 adopted (September 1791); Women’s March on Versailles (5–6 October 1789); Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen adopted (26 August 1789).
5.The dates in the preceding question place the Declaration and the Women’s March in 1789, before the 1791 Constitution. What does this sequence suggest about how political change unfolded?
6.In September 1792, revolutionaries established a republic. Louis XVI was executed in January 1793. Which explanation best connects these events?
- The monarchy was abolished, and the king was tried and executed as a threat to the new republic.
- The king voluntarily resigned, and the republic restored his authority.
- The constitution made France a republic immediately in 1791 and guaranteed the king a ceremonial role.
- The king was executed before the monarchy was abolished, ending the Women’s March.

Judge the Consequences
8.The Reign of Terror (1793–1794) took place during the republic. Explain how war and fear of counter-revolution helped revolutionary leaders justify emergency measures, and give one consequence.
9.After the Terror, the Directory governed France from 1795 to 1799. Napoleon Bonaparte seized power in a coup in 1799. What does this outcome show about the revolution’s political aftermath?
