    Actually, the French Revolution was based on equality. It always ends badly, doesn't it?
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    It's a common misconception. France had become a highly centralized state by 18th Century.

    That's innacurate. Feudalism of the Middle Ages was over, but many elements remained.

    Thats why it was abolished by the National Assembly in 1789.

    Absolute monarchy had replaced feudalism, that and the Estates General. The National Assembly was the Third Estate.

    There was no other feudalism. The Crown had won a long battle with the aristocracy long before the revolution. France was an absolute monarchy in 1789 not a feudal state

    I guess the encyclopedia Britannica is mistaken.

    Whoever wrote article certainly is. This conception of the revolution has been obsolete for decades.
