Effect for the first
In 1781 after Bastille, The Declaration of Independence was the main issue. This document projected the authority of issuing basic humans rights from the church to the government. Even after this the King's crown that originally had a symbol of Catholic Christianity was replaced with a red liberty cap. This represent the state authority.
During the third
The guillotine was a major even during the French Revolution, but it had larger purpose before the Reign of Terror. The guillotine was the reason for the executions of King Louis XVI,Queen Marie Antoinette, Barnave, Bailly, Brissote and other leading Girondins were all executed by the guillotine.
During the second
The war of Vendee begun in 1793, the peasants revolted against the French government because they didn't agree with the changes on the Roman Catholic Church by the Civil Constitution of the clergy. 117,000-250,000 people lost their lives due to this revolt. That caused a major government business to be war. Citizens were expected to serve as soldiers or suppliers in the war.

During the first
The reign of Terror lasted from September 1793-July 1794. In this caused the death of almost 17,000 people under the guillotine. This was noted as a political purge to the rulers. After this ended, as many as 40,000 people were on death trial for the guillotine as prisoners.
The third cause
Financial issues arose so Louis XVI called the Estates General, the Third Estate didn't agree with the system. Due this, they formed the National Assembly to make a constitution. People began to get scared and then the Parisians chose to attack the Bastille prison. This fall of Bastille is what stared the French Revolution.
The second cause
Feudalism was still being practiced in France during the time. The nobles and clergy didn't have to pay taxes. While they didn't have to pay, the commoners had to pay heavily. They had to work hard and still had very little to no political power. The nobles and clergy wanted to revolt because the commoners became disconnected with them.
