The medieval fortress and prison in Paris known as the Bastille represented royal authority in the centre of Paris.

The national assembly is basically the government and sort of like our congress or Great Britain's parliament. The attack on Bastille was a way for the people to protest the said government of the time.

The national assembly was a legislative body containing nobles and members of clergy. The storming of the Bastille occured in Paris on the night of July 14th, 1789. Even though there were only 7 men in imprisonment, it showed disagreement.

The National Assembly was the pass laws and reforms in the name of the French people. The battle happenend in Paris it was over who belived in Louis and the others who didn't belive in the people and not the king.

Garret D. said...

The National Assembly was created when the Third Estate pushed harder and harder for power. Emmanuel-Joseph Sieyes was a leading spokesperson for their cause and suggested the delegates name themselves the National Assembly. Also, he suggested that they pass laws and reforms in the name of the French people.
Bastille was a prison in Paris. A mob came and seized control of the building and killed the prison commander and several guards. They then paraded the streets with the dead men's heads on pikes. 100 lives were takin in this massacre and it is now considered a French national holiday?? Is it just me or is there something wrong with that?

the third estate delegates were eager to make changes in the government. all three estates met together and had a vote. the king ordered the estates-general to follow the medieval rules. the delegates of the third estate became more determined to wield power. in a dramatic speech a spokesman suggested that the third estate delegates name themselves the national assembly.
In 1789, during the storming of the Bastille, there were 7 prisoners. The Bastille represented royal authority and this was exactly what the French people wanted to rid themselves of. Also, it was randomly known there was a lot of gunpowder stored in the Bastille and since the people feared that King Louis XVI was planning a counter revolution, they wanted to arm themselves against the foreign troops that they thought Louis had ordered from abroad. The French saw it as a victory when they freed the 7 prisoners and tore down the Bastille. They conveniently forgot the fact that among them were 4 forgers, 2 lunatics and 1 pedophile
