Where french monarchs just as religious as the british monarchs? and how did the monarchs payback the churches?

answer:

one of the most significant developments in the three centuries leading up to the renaissance period was the collapse of feudalism. this social and economic system had emerged during the ninth century in the carolingian empire (pronounced care-eh-lin-jee-ehn), which was centered in the region that is now france. (see "feudalism" in chapter 1.) eventually feudalism (a term derived from the medieval latin word feudum, meaning "fee") spread throughout europe and served as a unifying institution for all aspects of life. under feudalism, which was based on an agricultural economy, distinct social classes were dependent on one another through a complex system of pledging loyalty in exchange for goods and services. at the top were kings, who owned the land. beneath them were lords (noblemen) and clergymen (church officials), who were granted tracts of land called fiefs (pronounced feefs) by the king. below the lords were vassals (knights), who held smaller amounts of land awarded to them by lords. at the bottom were serfs (peasants), who farmed the fiefs but were not given land of their own. land occupied by churches, monasteries (houses for men called monks, who dedicated themselves to the religious life), and other religious establishments of the roman catholic church were also considered fiefs.

explanation:

why was the national assembly formed by the third estate?

the estates-general had not been assembled since 1614, and its deputies drew up long lists of grievances and called for sweeping political and social reforms. the third estate, which had the most representatives, declared itself the national assembly and took an oath to force a new constitution on the king.

the committees of correspondence were the american colonies’ means for maintaining communication lines in the years before the revolutionary war. in 1764, boston formed the earliest committee of correspondence to encourage opposition to britain’s stiffening of customs enforcement and prohibition of american paper money. the following year, new york formed a similar committee to keep the other colonies notified of its actions in resisting the stamp act. in 1773, the virginia house of burgesses proposed that each colonial legislature appoint a committee for intercolonial correspondence. the exchanges that followed built solidarity during the turbulent times and bring about the formation of the first continental congress in 1774.
