History
Why France Did Not Have an American Revolution
The true French Revolution accomplished by French patriot and scientist Jean Sylvain Bailly and the Marquis de Lafayette around the Tennis Court Oath of June 20, 1789—which demonstrated the sovereignty of the National Assembly—specifically imitated the American Framers of the U.S. Constitution at their convention in Philadelphia two years earlier. The storming of the Bastille on July 14 was the act of an anti-"American," counter-revolutionary coup. Pierre Beaudry tells how the Duke of Orléans and the British created a famine to starve Paris and fuel the insurrection.
