Benjamin Franklin could be considered an important influence for the French Revolution, in particuarly his impact on the Enlightenment Era. An inventor and figure of new, radical and "revolutionary" ideas, Franklin provided the French nation hope for equality of all citizens regardless of privileged order and status among the hierarchy of Estates, thus a new voice for the once oppressed Third Estate. With an alliance created with America during the "American War of Independence", the French society began to use these this enlightened leaders to shape their own ideas, questioning their own thoughts on the absolute divine monarchy, creating a common constitution and and abolishing the privileges available to the First and Second Estates. With these radical thoughts and motives, the French nation began a revolution to move their society towards equality and fairness for all people.
