Once upon a time, in the country France, 

there was a man named John Locke. John told 

anyone who would listen his beliefs about the 

role of government. His ideas spread from 

place to place, and people began to question 

the nations Monarchy. Little Piggy liked this 

idea, because it meant more political freedom 

for himself, and his friends.

At the time, France was categorized in three 

separate social classes. Two of the classes 

were made up of Royal and Religious leaders, 

and the other the middle and lower classes. 

Unfortunately, the royal and religious leaders 

usually sided with each other, and therefore 

the lower classes were usually persecuted. 

Little Piggy didn't like this, because it meant 

he could never get his point across.

Soon people grew sick of it, and rebellion spread 

throughout the land. Leaders created their own 

constitution, kicked out their king, and formed 

their own government. Unfortunately, lead by 

Robespierre, the new government grew to be 

almost as worst as the last one, and chaos 

occurred. In the famous "Reign of Terror", 

hundreds of people were executed everyday for the 

slightest offenses with little proof or reasoning. 

Little Piggy didn't like this, because many of his 

friends were dying.

Then a young general named Napoleon Bonaparte came 

into the picture. Napoleon had great leadership, and his 

famous battles were well known. When he saw the 

problems going on in Paris, he started a coup against 

the government and used his military and political 

power to crown himself emperor of France. He soon 

provided stability within the region, and allowed 

freedoms that people really wanted from the beginning. 

He created the Napoleonic Code, and also came into an 

agreement with the pope, which re-instilled religion 

back into the country. This made Little Piggy very happy, 

because this meant him and his family could now go to 

church again.
