With election day fast approaching, I couldn't help it... had to break out the sharpie marker and draw on the cover of Time Magazine
In
1789, the French National Assembly was created as a parliamentary body
to move control of issues, such as taxation, from the king to the citizenry. Inside
the chamber where the National Assembly met, members of the Third Estate sat on
the left side and members of the First Estate sat on the right. The Third
Estate consisted of revolutionaries, while the First Estate were nobles. Thus,
the left wing of the room was more liberal, and the right wing was more
conservative.
