The French Revolution Was Not Just About the Nobility

No one was going back to the insane quilt of overlapping jurisdictions and privileges that had defined the encion regime. Centralized power was here to stay one nation run by a single set of laws, with the exacim taxes and regulations for everyone. Promotions were based on merit, and they had no space for dilettant nobles trying to shove their way back into control. Not that the nobility even wanted to after the revolution. The church took a major, major hit in terms of its power and prestige.
