<p>so there are a million smart people on here, and I need some opinions, so pleasssssssssssse answer this little question and briefly explain, thank u</p>
<p>Did the French Revolution live up to the ideals of the enlightenment?</p>
<p>No. The Reign of Terror was def. a backlash against Enlightenment values.</p>

<p>is that a joke?? haha</p>
<p>no, it was started by bourgeois so they could get rid of the aristocrats and assume the power. also following the revolution, there was a reign of terror. after that Napoleon never thought about democracy or enlightment thoughts seriously, he just was a new emperor. write about reign of terror, napoleon and his ambitions, and bourgeois</p>
<p>ok, thank you soo much, i've actually already written about the first two, but i don't undersatnd your bourgeoise arguement.</p>
