The French Revolution abolished the monarchy and established a radical democratic republic based on Enlightenment principles of citizenship and rights. It led to social changes ending special privileges and published the Declaration of Rights of Man. The king and queen were arrested and executed, and a short-lived constitutional monarchy was established before Napoleon took power.
