Here are some things too look into:

The French Constitution of 1791– Where voting was given to only those men that paid a certain amount of taxes (which left out the rather poor working class that had fought hard for the right). That is hardly equality.

The Great Terror– the impressively fearsome guillotine that took so many heads! This hardly promoted liberty, in fact, it pretty much suppressed all freedoms of speech; but it did form a strong, if somewhat draconian, from of Fraternity.

The Birth of Nationalism– Nationalism was invented by the French. They needed to pull the people together from the civil disorder caused by the Revolution. To do so, they emphasized the fact that they were all French. That they were all number one! This did create a fraternity of a sort, but it also was one of the first forms of segregation.

The Flight to Varennes, while not important, I don’t think, to your essay, is one of my favorite parts of the Revolution (to study, I wouldn’t want to live there during the time). Just thought to mention that!

Well, that’s all the cons! Let’s see about the Pros:

But the Revolution did create an equality in social classes that hadn’t been so before under the feudalistic system.

It allowed for liberty in that the people became a Republic after King Louis XVI’s death, but the republic was corrupt and headed by a terroristic Maximilien Robespierre.

And of course, Fraternity came from the nationalism.

I hope this helped! I know it’s vague, but hopefully it’ll give you some new thoughts.
