  bad harvest, high numbers of poor, and
  counter-revolutionary National Assembly
Revolutionary Subjects
Who were the Jacobins and why does
Hobsbawm think they were unique in history?

What about the
Sans-culottes?

(pages 62-63)
Declaration of the Rights of Man
and Citizens, 1789
The Declaration states, "The source of all
sovereignty resides essentially in the nation."
(page 59)

What is the significance of this?
New Political Formations
When we say "the United States," what do we
mean?
New Political Formations
The French Revolution helps establish the
modern notion of the nation-state, which
connects three things:

  the nation (citizenry)
  the land (territory)

And they are connected in a Constitutional
framework.
