Explanation:

For Question 7:

• The first stage of the French Revolution (1789 - 1792) was relatively peaceful with some reforms like the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. The overthrow of the king (execution in 1793) was later. Universal suffrage was not achieved then, and class unity was not a main feature.
