Write a brief speech explaining why the french political system needs to change

1. Politically: France before the Revolution was a monarchy, that is, hereditary rule, as was most of Europe except, significantly, Great Bittain. The Revolution literally threw off the monarchy and embraced the notion of a Republic. In doing so, they beheaded their king, Louis XVI, precipitating the French Revolutionary Wars. The revolutions proclaimations, embodied in the document "Declaration of the Rights of Man" threatened every other monarchy in Europe. Republican governments are representative, wherein they are always ruling by the consent of the governed, whereas the kings and nobles of 18th century Europe were faced with overthrow and murder.
2. Socially: Of Frances 26 million inhabitants in 1789, about 90% were poor peasants and farmers. The rest were either the nobility or the clergy. In fact, the very imbalance of the country socially begged for revolt. Each stratum of the society was called by one of three estates. The Nobility, including royalty, was the First Estate, the clergy and the Church was the Second Estate, and the peasants were the Third Estate. After the Revolution all offices were open to tjhose with the most talent. This was never more true than during the First Empire, when Napoleon's many Codes were written and enforced in France. In fact, the Code Napoleon still exists as part of the legal structure of several European nations today. But privilege was looked down upon, and merit was gained by talent.
3. Economically: In this respect there was change on several levels. For one thing, the new government had to command revenues in a sensible fashion and keep the nation solvent, otherwise chaos would result. It almost did, edspecially after 1792 when the wars began. But Frances conquests themselves paid dividends in hard currency, as well as many of Europes greatest art treasures. Under Napoleon the Bank of France was established and eventuallt the economy took form. It can be said that the French Revolution helped to intensify the Industrial Revolution in that country, and this could only have been accomplished in the absence of monarchy, and certainly not because of it. France grew stronger and faster under it's succesive republics because the freedoms evident in a republic encourage investment in new technology and excite compeition, and therefore innovation.
