How Power Stopped Being Sacred: The French Revolution (1789–1799)

This episode examines the French Revolution (1789–1799) — one of the most documented and transformative periods in modern history. Over the course of a single decade, France moved from absolute monarchy grounded in divine right to a republic built on national sovereignty — and then to revolutionary dictatorship. This is not myth. This is not legend. This is a structural analysis of real historical events. We explore: • The bankruptcy crisis of the 1780s • The Estates-General of 1789 • The rise of the National Assembly • The execution of Louis XVI • The Reign of Terror • The birth of modern state power Through the lens of political structure, legitimacy, and institutional control. The French Revolution did not simply replace a king. It transformed the very definition of sovereignty — from sacred inheritance to contestable authority. 1789 was not just a revolt. It was the beginning of modern politics.
