“How did Napoleon turn the anti-authority anarchist movement into a force for dictatorship and become Emperor.”

Compare and contrast the French Revolution with the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917.

How did the French Revolution demonstrate the pitfalls of mob rule?

How did the French Revolutionary Calendar, the Cult of the Supreme Being, and other attempts to de-Christianize France affect the rise and fall of the Revolution?

I’m sorry, are you asking for questions?

If so, here are a few:

Didn’t the revolution just replace one tyranny with another?

Were the leaders of the revolution chosen democratically?

How was the French Revolution different from the American Revolution?

Did the revolution lead to the rise of Napoleon?

Would France be better off today if the revolution never happened?

France became a great country because of the leadership of its kings. Weren’t they better off under the old system?

What was the role of the church in the revolution?

The government during Louis XVI reign tried to solve the economical problems (the biggest one), by the fiscal reform proposal. But the rebels leaders didn’t accept (Jeu de Paume oath, Grenoble’s days of tile…). These leaders are specially non ecclesiastic people (bourgeois) that have a medieval political revenge as ideological heritage. Louis XVI gave an economical solution, and the social problem could have been solved if France adopted the English legislative model (which was plausible at this period). Question : Did the nation fell in a stupid demagogic trap? Could the whole revolution be a big masquerade for the non ecclesiastics?

The Online Library of Liberty (see link below) has a group of letters, sermons and critiques of the French Revolution by 18th century authors that you can read and help you form some good debate questions.
