Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790) - Edmund Burke
Description
In 1789 French people overthrew their monarchy and took control of the government. The French revolution was no different than any other revolutions. French people wanted to completely change their social and political system and to create a new system. Through it all they killed each other at the highest rate and destroyed their way of living.
An Englishman, and a political thinker Edmund Burke, was watching the French revolution unfold from a distance. His friend from France wrote to him inquiring his opinion on the situation. In 1790 Burke gave his opinion on the matter by releasing the book "Reflection on the revolution in France".
Professor Ron Cline and Erick Nganyange are discussing the French Revolution and Edmund Burke.
