In the course of the French Revolution, all the subjects and the people of the king's reign were conflicting for citizens and their policies. Some of the highlights from the French Revolution can be listed as: In the summer of 1792, the Jacobins had planned a revolt that included Parisians in huge numbers, as they were angered with the shortage of supply and rising food prices. On the morning of August 10, they growled the palace of Tuileries, massacred the king’s guards, and held the king hostage for several hours. Later the Assembly voted to arrest the royal family. Elections happened. From then on, all men of 21 years and above nonetheless of wealth, got the right to vote. This led to the king accommodating the Constitution of 1791, made by the National Assembly and according to it, the voting rights were given to the peasants.
