harlow · Answer

In 1789, a French peasant likely grumbled about high taxes on essential goods, food scarcity due to poor harvests and rising prices, the oppressive feudal system, and forced military service. These issues reflected the broader social and economic injustices prevalent in France at the time, leading to widespread unrest that sparked the French Revolution. Ultimately, the revolution was driven by the desire for change and relief from these burdens.
