France: Liberty, Equality, and Revolution
-
Narrated by:
-
Written by:
The French Revolution destroyed centuries-old privileges and proclaimed that human beings were born free and equal in rights. Sovereignty no longer belonged to the king but to the nation. Yet war, crisis, and popular mobilization radicalized the revolution until the defense of liberty became a justification for the Terror. Sans-culottes, Jacobins, and counterrevolutionaries fought over its meaning. Years later, Benjamin Constant warned against sacrificing individual independence to collective power. This is a story of universal rights, political exclusion, and a revolution that permanently transformed the language and institutions of modern politics.
