The Glorious Revolution and the French Revolution.
Both of the components of the Glorious Revolution and French Revolution start with a basic and furious need for new leadership. Both of these traumatic and historic events are very similar, and at other times very different. .
The French revolution started because society's common people were being treated with not the same liberty as the wealthy. They began question the ideas of liberty, freedom for all, which these ideas had been spreading around other countries. The Glorious revolution started because of the laws broken by the King, himself. He appointed Catholics in high up offices within the government. This at the time was illegal, because England was legally protestant. While the Glorious revolution had to do with religion, and the French had to do with money and other rules, they both started because the misuse of power. The French revolution mainly started because of groups forming that secretly were going to overthrow the current government. The actual overthrowing of the Glorious revolution was in 1688, and it was only thought up by seven subjects working under James the 2nd. The French revolution took a lot more time to assemble, and it was mainly put together by the Third Estate. The seven subjects working under James the 2nd asked William and Mary to overthrow James and set a more stable government up instead. William soon led his army into London. This was the first and last forceful act of the Glorious Revolution. While the French revolutions first forceful act was the storming of the Bastille. This moment was defining the new age coming to France. Both countries set up new laws to enable a new better functioning government. Governments that could actually serve the people, not only the people that controlled them. Including laws such as letting leaders only be elected by parliament. .
Both revolutions had their differences, but both were for the better of the countries people.
