French Revolution

It is the late 18th century (1700's). Due to the recent success of the American Revolution, a revolution has erupted in France as well. You are a French citizen, and do not want to live in all out chaos (Hobbes' state of nature). You decide you will seize power and help stabilize France. In order to do this, you must write a pamphlet to alert your fellow citizens as to why you are the ideal candidate for the job. This pamphlet must include the following:

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 problems


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 thinkers
the one change i would make is power to the people and not as a monarchy
C)Why you are better suited to lead than King Louis XVI, Robespierre, and Napoleon
You must choose at least 1 of these 3 leaders
For 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

D) At least two (2) pictures that represent your leadership qualities and a couple sentences to explain each picture
