The National Convention was established in 1792 by the Legisative Assembly. The Legistlative Assembly was set up the the original National Assembly that had issued the Declaration of the Rights of Man and essentially overthrown King Louis XVI. \n\nDue to the opposition growing against the National Convention in some cities and rural areas prompted it to set up the Committe on Public Safety, led by the infamous Robespierre (who is considered the leader of the Reign of Terror), to deal with the "counterrevolutionaries" who were rioting. \n\nRobespierre wanted to create a republic of virtue where all citizen would be morally virtuous and be dedicated to France at any cost. He set up a revolutionary tribunal to try the "counterrevolutionaries", eventually executing some 16,000 victims. The tribunal relied on hearsay and the accusation of jealous neighbors as much as it did on actual evidence of counterrevolutionary activities. \n\nThe irony is that, in 1974, enough oppostion mounted against Robespierre that he was eventually arrested and killed, the last to go to the guillotine, in what is called the Thermidorean Reaction

1917 saw two distinct Revolutions in Russia: the overthrow of the tsarist regime (February Revolution) and the coup by which the Bolsheviks took power (October Revolution). The causes of these two revolutions encompass Russia’s political, social, and economic situation. Politically, the people of Russia resented the autocracy of Tsar Nicholas II. The losses that the Russians suffered during World War I further weakened Russia’s view of Nicholas II. Socially, tsarist Russia stood well behind the rest of Europe in its industry and farming, resulting in few opportunities for fair advancement on the part of peasants and industrial workers. Economically, widespread inflation in Russia contributed to the revolution.\n\nUltimately, a combination of these three, coupled with the development of revolutionary ideas and movements (particularly since the 1905 Bloody Sunday Massacre) led to the Russian Revolution.

Helping you out with your homework huh?  Well I will not make it 4 or five sentences long but will give you something to think about.  \nThe impact it has on the American history is it started the rebellion against taxation and the mother country.  The second thing is that Americans decided to govern themselves and form a new government.  It also lead to no one ruler will govern America, judicial system, legislative branch and the executive branch.  It lead to a revolt and to the rights of our civil liberties.

I guess it connects to the laborers, Civil War, slavery and the struggling going on \nI mean, the Revolutionary war, was for freedom, and we aren't seeing that in history. Like the historical events like slavery, we aren't too sure that the Revolutionary met its goal for freedom. In other words, the U.S. needs to struggle more for its real freedom.

Sounds pretty straightforward to me. Have you made up the list of principles that Jefferson advocated in his pre-presidential days? If not, that would be a good starting point. \nYou can probably find this information by putting Thomas Jefferson into your search engine. \nGood luck!

Welll, to develop an answer to (A), look over the following web site:  www.usconstitution.net \nUnder the section "Declaration of Independence", click on "History" for an excellent discussion of why and how the Constitution came about.  This will give you some good examples of why it was a product of its time (freedom, division of power, rights of citizens).  \n\nFrom this understanding of why the colonists were so desperate to separate themselves from the monarchy of Great Britain, you can then answer (B) by applying those same basic and universal human desires to modern times and show how the Constitution has furthered our progress as a nation -- primarily by protecting and expanding the rights of its citizens and limiting the concentration of political, judicial, executive and legislative powers.  You can also discuss challenges of the future:  gay marriage, privacy rights, affirmative action, prayer in schools, balance between personal liberty and national security, states vs federal rights, etc.\n\nHowever, it should be noted that the Constitution is simply a set of words; it is people, human beings that are a product of their own eras, that interpret and apply those words.  On rare occasions the interpretation has been shameful, i.e., the defense of slavery.  However, more often, the Constitution has been interpreted to broaden and defend the rights of the people (Miranda warning, right to a lawyer in a criminal trial, voting rights, educational rights, rights of physically and mentally disabled citizens, etc).\n\nGood luck!

Your quote is from Alexis de Tocqueville, who was a member of the French Aristocracy and favored monarchy over democracy. He came to America shortly after the French Revolution to study democracy up close and personal. He didn't like it much, but why would he? He had it pretty good under the French monarchical system. At least understand what it is you're ranting about.

The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), also known as the American War of Independence,[1] was a conflict that erupted between Great Britain and revolutionaries within thirteen British colonies, who declared their independence as the United States of America in 1776. The war was the culmination of the American Revolution, a colonial struggle against political and economic policies of the British Empire. The war eventually widened far beyond British North America; many Native Americans also fought on both sides of the conflict.\n\nThroughout the war, the British were able to use their naval superiority to capture and occupy coastal cities, but control of the countryside (where most of the population lived) largely eluded them. After an American victory at Saratoga in 1777, France, Spain, and the Netherlands entered the war against Great Britain. French involvement proved decisive, with a naval victory in the Chesapeake leading to the surrender of a British army at Yorktown in 1781. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 recognized the independence of the United States.\n\nNote that this article covers military actions only; for political and social developments, including the origins and aftermath of the war, see the article on the American Revolution.
