Writing Assignment 1

Part 1. The Final Crisis of the French Monarchy

Using the relevant textbook passages, documents and commentary provided in class, and research you have done on your own, explain how and why the French monarchy found itself in the straits it was in in 1789. In a paper five-to-seven pages in length, discuss the various factors involved (political, financial, diplomatic, military, etc.) and give your opinion on which factors were the most important and why. The paper will be double-spaced, employ a minimum of ten references to at least five source materials (in footnote form), a bibliography (which is not part of the five-to-seven-page requirement for length). It will follow the format and style laid out in Kate L. Turabian, A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations (8th Edition).
