On the morning of 14 July 1789, the city of Paris was in a state of alarm. The king had commanded
troops to move into the city. Rumors spread that he would soon order the army to open fire upon the
citizens. Some 7,000 men and women gathered in front of the town hall and decided to form a
peoples militia. They broke into a number of government buildings in search of arms. Finally, a group
of several hundred people marched towards the eastern part of the city and stormed the fortress-
prison, the Bastille, where they hoped to find hoarded ammunition. In the armed fight that followed,
the commander of the Bastille was killed and the prisoners released though there were only seven of
them. Yet the Bastille was hated by all, because it stood for the despotic power of the king. The
fortress was demolished and its stone fragments were sold in the markets to all those who wished to
keep a souvenir of its destruction.

Q.No-35 – Read the source given below and answer the questions that follow: -

The population of France rose from about 23 million in 1715 to 28 million in 1789. This led to a rapid
increase in the demand for food grains. Production of grains could not keep pace with the demand.
So the price of bread which was the staple diet of the majority rose rapidly. Most workers were
employed as labourers in workshops whose owner fixed their wages. But wages did not keep pace
with the rise in prices. So the gap between the poor and the rich widened. Things became worse
whenever drought or hail reduced the harvest. This led to a subsistence crisis, something that
occurred frequently in France during the Old Regime.
(i) What do you mean by Old Regime ?
(ii) What is the main reason of gap between the rich and poor ?
(iii) What are the causes of Subsistence Crisis in France ?
Q.No-36 – Read the source given below and answer the questions that follow:

new taxes. A resplendent hall in Versailles was prepared to host the delegates. The first and second
estates sent 300 representatives each, who were seated in rows facing each other on two sides, while
the 600 members of the third estate had to stand at the back. The third estate was represented by its
more prosperous and educated members. Peasants, artisans and women were denied entry to the
assembly. However, their grievances and demands were listed in some 40,000 letters which the
representatives had brought with them.
(i) Why Louis XVI called the Estates General on 05th May 1789 ?
