Jean - Paul Marat was born May 24,1743 and died on 13 July 1793. Marat often sought the comfort of a cold bath to ease violent itchiness due to a skin disease long said to have been contracted years earlier, when he was forced to hide from his enemies in the Paris sewers. Marat was killed by Charlotte Corday. Corday killed Marat by stabbing him while he was in daily routine in the tub to stop the itching. Corday testified that she had carried out the assassination alone, saying "I killed one man to save 100,000."
In my opinion i believe that its true what Corday did and say by saying that "i killed one man to save 100,000". By saying this she meant that Marat was a really violent men if he wanted to kill any one he did. So Corday saved her time to killed the person that was causing the trouble. On 17 July 1793, four days after Marat was killed, Corday was executed under the guillotine. The guillotine was a cruel machine they used to kill many people it basically chops peoples heads off.
In 1791 National Assembly created a new constitution. new. The voting rights was only taxpaying men at least 25 years old and older can vote.The constitution keeps the monarchy, but restricts its power. The church is disbanded, the church property was sold to pay off France's debts.
In my opinion i think it is right that voting was only to the people that was paying taxes (3rd estate) . because if you are not paying stuff why should you have the rights to vote. in conclusion i feel that it was good that Charlotte Corday killed Marat. Also that the third state had the right to vote.
