History tells us that the enlightened people's intellectual movement was what made the monarchical system in France fall. The enlightened people served as beacons of hope in the then desolate world.
Their strong sense of patriotism served as their main source of inspiration as they came together for the battle. They were able to defeat the oppressive monarchical government.
The "Storming of Bastille" didn't only open the gates of the prison; the impregnable door that solely respected the rights of royalty and members of the clergy was also busted open.
As Victor Hugo once said, "rien n'est plus puissant qu'une idée dont l'heure est venue" meaning "nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come". This idea served as a potent reminder of the French republic's core values of liberty, equality, and fraternity.
