-
A) A list of at least two (2) current problems you see in France
- One (1) solution that you will offer to each of these problemsTwo current problems in France are that the government is very inconsistent and that the poor are under-represented.A solution to the inconsistent government is to get a strong new leader who can actually make decisions and stick with them unlike Louis XVI.
A solution to the unfair representation is to give representatives to the different groups based on the number of people in the different groups. This will help to balance out the power between the rich and poor.
B) A list of at least one (1) change you will implement in the government
- Each change must be supported by one of the enlightenment thinkersOne change I would make in the government would be to use more of John Lockes ideas to create a government where the people can decide about what to do for different issues. I would also use Montesquieu’s ideas so that power is checked, and no one person has too much.
C)Why you are better suited to lead than King Louis XVI, Robespierre, and Napoleon
You must choose at least 1 of these 3 leadersFor each leader you choose, you must include:
- Short Biographical information- One quote and reflection of what it means about that person
- One (1) interesting fun fact about person
- One (1) paragraph that explains why you are a better leader than them
I am better suited to lead France than Robespierre, because Robespierre had very controlling views, and although he tried to make a better country, he always believed he was right. If anyone disagreed with him, he would just kill them with the guillotine instead of listening to their opinions. This led to a great fear in France. One interesting fact about Robespierre is that after a while, his enemies decided to put him on trial, and eventually he was killed by the guillotine, the same way he killed all his enemies.
If I were leader, I wouldn’t kill people just for disagreeing with me, instead I would listen and try to find a solution that everyone could live with. This would prevent unnecessary fear and uncertainty in the government.

A problem I have observed in France are the French leaders and this great fear they have created. French leaders did not have a good structure toward their empires. Leaders such as King Louis XVI and his wife who spent too much. Robespierre, who was not open, and caused that revolution to spin out of control. A way to fix these
