To what extent do you agree with the above quotation during the revolutionary years of 1789-1797
When a mob is activated and begins to fight back in attempts to reach a certain goal, then people of the first and second tier of government will do whatever it takes to fight back and remain in control, which can lead to a loss of leadership if the King decides that he wants things done his way and doesn’t want to work with his people in attempts to fix what was wrong, could cause a revolution consisting of many fights and raids resulting in death of the nobility and possibly the King, and cause a change systematically or politically.

If nobility and royalty didn’t screw up once and awhile, there would be no cause for mobs or a revolution, but in the end revolutions and mobs are a good thing in the long run. Mobs help shape countries as we see them, and help change the way things work and the rules and laws of the
