5) Study sources A, B and C together. Do these sources explain why poor people inFrance resented the rich? Explain your answer using the sources. yes because there saying true things about the poor people. for example if you look at sources A u can see how the poor people are helping the king or the rich.
6) Rousseau (source D) was an influential writer at this time. Along with other writerslike Voltaire, he wanted France to have a more democratic form of government. Whowould be most influenced by his words and why? (remember to include extracts formthe source in your answer.) I think it will be the church because he saing that man is born free. No man has any naturalauthority over others.
7) The pamphlet which source D came from was banned in 1775. Why do you think this was? Which members of French society would want it to be banned? I think they banned the source d because the author was tellin the true so the french didn't want people to know that hi was saing the true.
