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
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
Overpowering wealthy class and they only consist of 3% of population and 97% is the poor with only 1/3 of say in voting.
France has fallen into a fearing time where the people are scared about the making of a new government due to their uncontrolled and chaotic ways. This causes many suicides and loss of hope.
I plan to create an organized structured government where the French can be happy in their own land and advance as a country with a new and improved leader,me.
Maximilien Robespierre was a positive leader who followed John Lockes theory of "all men are naturally good" Although his ideas were good he was very positive he reflected them horribly by cutting the heads of the people who disagreed with him. Like John Locke says "Men are all good and do not need a structure to lead their people." I believe if you are a follower of this theory you wouldn't need a leader. One thing is to agree and grow from this and the other is to lead from it its contradicting itself. I would allow the people to have some say into their life plans and trust that they are good.

If I could lead I would stay grounded and be confident with my essential leading. I would beinfluenced by Locke but stay true to my believes as well.
Great start, keep up the good work and stay focused (You and Ayleen both). Overall, nice work.
