Hello everybody! I’m Fernando!

Happy new year to everyone!

Today has been the first day of class of the year and at second period we have had Social Sciences. The first thing we have seen is a whiteboard where we can write our favourite quotes. Later Paqui has remered us what we were studing before the holidays and then she has copied a scheme to do during the class and if we didn’t have time to finish at home. The scheme is about the development of the French revolution and it’s divided into three parts:

-Moderate stage (1789-1792):
  • National assembly (1789-1791): the most important decision they made was to establish a constitution.

  • Legislative Assembly (1791-1792): Their main decisions is the abolition of the guilds, a universal tax system, prohibition of torture, creation of a national army, confiscation and sell of the properties of the Chruch and Civil Constitution of the Clergy. They also finished with the monarchy in France.
- Radical stage (1792-1794):
  • Girondist convention (1792-1793): The main decision was to execute the king by guillotine, but they had some problems with this execution, because this provoked the formation of a coalition of the European monarchies against France.

A policy was created called the Age of Terror, this consist in the right to execute all the suspected counter-revolutionaries by guillotine. At the end Thermidor a conservative coup d’eat deposed the Jacobins and their leaders were guillotined.

The Directory was attacked both by the absolutists and the people.

Hello,

These are my corrections:

Today has been the first day of class of the year and at second period we have had Social Sciences. The first thing we have seen is a whiteboard where we can write our favourite quotes. Later Paqui has reminded us what we were study ing before the holidays and then she has copied a scheme to do during the class and if we didn’t have time we have to finish it at home. The scheme is about the development of the French revolution and it’s divided into three parts:

The Reign of Terror was a period of the Revolution in which they used quick justice to execute all the suspected counter-revolutionaries by guillotine. At the end in July 1794 (the month of Thermidor in the revolutionary calendar a conservative coup d’eat deposed the Jacobins and their leaders were guillotined.
-Directory (1795-1799): In this period they elaborated a new constitution which created a collegiate government, the Directory, and two legislative chambers. The Directory was attacked both by the absolutists and the people. In 1799 General Napoleon Bonaparte, encouraged by part of the bourgeois, led a coup d’état, put an end to the Directory and took power.
