Storming The Bastille

2 comments:

  1. Do you think the people went too far? Or do you think that they were justified? Will revolution always be bloody - and is that blood necessary? Thomas Jefferson said that "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." Do you agree?

  2. I think the people went too far. Instead of killing the king, they should just lower the king's authority, and prove to the king that they're new constitution is more successful. I disagree with Thomas Jefferson's word. Liberty is a pure word itself, to be refreshed with blood is not necessary, things might just lose control over the dripping of blood.
