What is freedom? “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”  Freedom in its most ideal form is doing whatever one feels like doing without opposition, even if others don’t approve. Other than that in current times, freedom has come to be speaking, living, eat ing, doing what one wants to do under restrictions of legality, which means one may not murder another or cannot text and drive. It is doing something without endangering another or disturbing the greater peace. But it also means not being limited in one’s actions, and legality in this case is determined by the government. Freedom is still being able to accomplish what one wishes to accomplish in their lives without hurting others.

What is Equality? “Democracy does not guarantee equality of conditions. It only guarantees equality of opportunity.”  Equality is being given a chance to live the world as one wants. It does not mean being the same race, having the same income, or having the same genes. It’s doing what one can without worrying that they can’t do because they are black or asian or female. As Kristol says, it’s a guarantee to be able to judged by others as any other would judge themselves, or live under the same legal laws, where no rule is placed or restrictions formed only to prevent a certain type of people to not be able to do what they want to do.  In a revolution, this stage would involve the political, social, intellectual, or economic causes. In some cases, these causes could fester for many years before showing themselves in the form of actual revolutionary action. || The Estate General was un fair in that the third estate which consisted of the largest group of people had no power under the Clergy and the nobles. The Incubation stage for the French Revolution precipitated changes in France of the Revolution. This stage brought on more tension amongst the Third estate the that of the Clergy and Nobles, and no one was particularily against it since no one could go against it. || In a revolution, this stage would be the first to involve direct action resulting from the social, political, intellectual, or economic causes of the incubation stage. This stage might involve the publication of works calling for a change, street level riots by the common people, or more direct attempts at changing the society. || When the Estate General was called uponto discuss the ciscal crisis that wasoccurring because of the 7 years war with Napolean, the French wanted to incorporate the opinions on all estates and decide on a favorable position, but the Third Estate could no have a say since every other estate had no power or say. And during this Estate General meeting in 1787 the Third estate brought with them complaints for the monarch. || In a revolution, this stage would be the make or break part of the struggle. It may involve conflict where sides for and against the revolution compete. This competition could take the form of debate or full-scale war. Successful revolutions survive this stage. Those that do not are usually considered failed rebellions. || The revolution part was the part in which was fought between the parties. The French revolution during this stage brought on war amongst the poor and rich, and castles were burnt, businesses were shut down and people were threatened to close down and fighting in the Bastille occurred. This brought an end to many nobles and helped secure abolition of slavery as well as women’s rights and a monarchy into a representative government || In a revolution, this stage would involve recovering from the extreme disruptions of the crisis stage. In general, the political, social, intellectual, or economic causes of the revolution must be addressed in some way, though not necessarily to the satisfaction of all revolutionaries. || In the end, Napolean Bonaparte secured France again therefore readapting previous changes into current ones. He reissued a monarchy. Slavery remained abolished. Plus political reforms occurred to adjust the power of the monarch such as the Constitutional Convention and the Chamber of deputies to insue a legalized representative government. ||
