Could never do this without you.
The year is 1789,
and the citizens of France are deeply entrenched in the battle for human rights that would forever change the course of history,
known as the French Revolution.
See, because before there was ever a declaration of the rights of man and the citizen,
before France became what it would eventually become, a war needed to be fought.
But it wasn't a war on a battlefield with muskets and cavalry and all kinds of glorious stuff like that.
It was a war of ideas in a place called the National Assembly.
It's kind of ironic.
I mean, despite how revolutionary its production was,
the National Assembly that brought these ideas to pass really only existed for a short period of time.
Between the dates of June 13th 1789 and July 9th 1789,
less than a month when it was all said and done, a group of people gathered together.
And I could talk about the different estates of government in France during this time and the systematic political castration of the bourgeoisie.
But out of respect to your time,
the interesting part when it comes to our episode today is how this battlefield was laid out physically in the room.
