Five-Paragraph Essay: In the late summer of 1789, with the issuance of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, France seemed to be successfully making the transition from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy. By the summer of 1793, however, the monarchy had been abolished, the king had been executed, and the government had fallen into the hands of a small group of radicals willing to use ruthless violence against their perceived enemies. Using good essay format, analyze at least three general factors that explain the radicalization of the revolution between 1789-1793, incorporating much specific support from your readings and notes.
