Solution

  1. The Bastille was seen as a prison where the absolutist monarch held back his enemies. As bakers were accumulating bread and turned down supplies, people raged into shops, destroyed records and the Bastille.
  2. The destroying of Bastille revealed that the people were in anger and this forced Louis XVI to recognize the National assembly.
  3. Thus the powers of the king were reduced and a constitution came into being.
