1)Reasons why people in France during the 1780's were critical of nobility because the Nobles had complete control over the peasants along with the fact that the Noble's were exempt from most taxes , they didn't have to do any military work, they collected tolls from peasants using roads and markets, and many Noble's lived in great luxury.
2)A French peasant may have grumbled about the taxes and the military service in 1780's.
3)I think the point the cartoonist was trying to make is that the peasants had to carry the work load and bare all of the clergy and noble's wrong doings and anger. The man underneath the two men is a peasant and the two men represent a clergy and a noble. The caption is describing the wishes and hopes of a peasant in 1780 France.
4)The authors describes the life of a French peasant as bad because of the heavy taxes they had to pay and what kinds of taxes they had 2 pay to multiple kings.
5)Yes the sources do explain why the peasans resented the Upper class society. It explains this because in each source it explains how bad the peasants had it and how good the higher class people had it easy.
6)Peasants were most influences by his words. He said man was born free the peasants were not free they had to pay heavy taxes.
7)I think it was banned because it influenced the peasants to rebel. The upper class would want this banned because it went against them.
