Before the French Revolution
(i) The French king Louis XIV drove France into useless wars bringing the country to the verge of bankruptcy.
(ii) Fiancé was a centralised monarchy. People had no share in decision making.
(iii) Administration was disorganised, corrupt and inefficient. The defective system of tax collection, whereby the burden was borne by the Third Estate was oppressive and created discontent.
(iv) The French society was divided into Estates, with 1st two Estates-clergy and nobility were the privileged ones. The large majority of the population constituted the Third Estate-formed the unprivileged class and shouldered the burden of taxation.
(v) Women formed the part of the class of unprivileged. They had no access to education, were deprived of job training, were engaged in low jobs and their wages were less than men. They did not enjoy political rights as men.

After the french revolution:
1.The French Revolution turned France into a democracy, i.e., gave constitutent power to the people, and implemented equality of all before the law.
2.Powers were centralized in one single national and rational administration, rather than given to land rulers (lords, barons…) all over the territory.
3.While people of good birth used to rule the country before the Revolution, this power was slowly transferred to people with a lot of money, often entrepreneurs, known as the bourgeoisie (not being a Marxist… that one is a French term).
4.Two important laws changed the economy in 1791: Décret d’Allarde, Loi le Chapelier ; both liberalized the economy, and turned regulated capitalism into free market capitalism.
