Before 1789, people in france lived under absolute rule—the king had total control of the government. the people fought the revolution to gain rights such as freedom of speech and greater participation in the government. the revolution was the start of a new era for france. but soon after, napoleon bonaparte came to power. he ruled with little input from others and conquered neighboring countries, while generally preserving the revolution’s changes, such as freedom of speech and religion. in a sense, the revolution came full circle—it started and ended with one leader having nearly total control of the country. what does this indicate about the revolution? did it succeed or fail? explain your views in a short paragraph of four or five sentences.

The French revolution, even when it started and ended with one leader, succeeded because allowed people to think that they could ask for something better; it presented the possibility that a government is about the people and not about the ruler, and this idea was reinforced with the basic civil rights that Napoleon continues to respect after the monarchy was overthrown.

I think the French Revolution was a success. Although it started and ended with one leader having control, the common people were better off under Napoleon than under King Louis XVI. Napoleon was a better ruler than Louis because he allowed rights that the people didn’t have under the king, such as freedom of speech and religion.

You can also write it like this, if you don't want to write down the whole answer.

It indicates that even if the people fought for their rights, someone came to power. But it doesn't mean it failed, I think it actually succeded. All their voices were heard and the government changed. For example, in the paragraph, it says that Napoleon even though he had the control; he was "preserving the revolution’s changes, such as freedom of speech and religion."
