## Summary

The Revolution did not invent democracy or human rights — it inherited them from the Enlightenment and the Americans. What it invented was the modern political. The deliberate remaking of state, society, calendar, religion, and citizenship from a single legislative body, against the resistance of the established order and at the cost of perhaps 40,000 lives in the Terror. Key sections include: The French Revolution. 1789 · 1799 · the Old Regime ends; Ten years that changed everything.; The Old Regime.; The Estates General.; The Tennis Court Oath.; The Bastille.; The Declaration.; The Women's March on Versailles.; The constitutional monarchy.; The Constitution of 1791..
