उत्तर
Role of print in the French Revolution:
- Spread of Enlightenment Ideas: Printed books and writings by thinkers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Voltaire were extensively distributed. Their views about liberty, equality, and democracy called into doubt the authority of the king and the Church.
- Criticism of the Monarchy: Pamphlets, drawings, and newspapers criticised Louis XVI’s policies and revealed corruption in the royal court. This created popular outrage against the monarchy.
- Spread of Revolutionary Ideas: Printed pamphlets and newspapers quickly disseminated news and revolutionary ideas throughout France. They encouraged debate and mobilised citizens to engage in political actions.
