Solution
Revolutionary ideas of
equality and liberty transformed the clothes people wore, the language they
spoke and books they read.
With the abolition of
censorship in 1789 and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen in
1791, freedom of speech became a natural right. This led to the growth of
newspapers, books, pamphlets and printed pictures.
Freedom of the press enabled
voicing of opinions and counter opinions.
Art flourished in the form of
paintings, plays, songs, and festive processions.
Visual and oral art forms
enabled even the common man who could not read and write to relate with the
ideas of liberty, equality and justice.
