French Revolution

A)There are two problems I'm currently seeing in France. The first being the un-balanced level of equality among the three different estates, in terms of rights/privilege's. The second being that a fair amont of the population live in very unstable, and even dangerous living conditions. Not only do this people need to be helped, but there rights need to be established and enforced. My solution to the problem of equality would be to come up with a new constitution giving everyone the same fundamental rights, that in every situation that you are a CITIZEN of france you will remain to have these rights. Secondly, my solution to the increasing level of poor living conditions for mainly the working class, will be to provide cheep, sustainable homing near the plant they work by. This will be done by taking a partial sum amont from tax payers money, to build homes within walking distance of every major plant.As of now im not in power, but there is one major thing that I will be sure to put into play as soon as I become in power. This will be to try to peacefully end all tensions that France has. This will increase the amont of workers France will have, due to all the returning soliders. This will increase productivity in manufacturing goods, which in turn will increase what we export. Soon after that we will have become a large exporting nation, that will have allies in case of invaders. Along with that will come the increase in profit coming to France, which will lower cost of goods, and make lesure items available to even the lowest of wage workers. This is supported by Lock. This is because he believed everyone could come together, and the nation would eventually become self sufficient.C) Napoleon- Was a self chosen dictator who tried gaining power by expanding. When this failed at first he kept on pushing, eventually leading to him being banished and dying six years after that from a stomach problem. A quote from Napoleon, "A Constitution should be short and obscure." This showed that he didn't believe in equal rights, because equal rights has not happend yet in France, therefor making the topic long, descriptive, and persuasive. I on the other hand would never make a constitution without equal rights, I'd never go into a another nation just to expand, or for any violent intentions with no reasons to back it up. I will always consider my people before myself, and I will make sure the equal rights among the estates is enforced. This is why I would be a better leader then Napoleon Bonaparte.
