In the reflections of Edmund Burke, the man established a new light to the events of the French revolution. He himself did not agree with the revolutionaries' want for the new free government with equal rights to man and woman. Edmund described the overthrow of the existing king and queen as the loss of honor in the existing system of rule. He thought that the revolution was not going to establish a solid rule for the people. The esteemed court of the principality was lost, and along with it was the pride of the country. Edmund Burke also did not like the way the people retaliated. It was an uprising comprised of more hate, outrage, and fury than retaliations of citizens being ruled by illegal monarchs with strict unforgiving rule. Edmund also does not agree with the way that rulers are brought up in France. They are taught to cower at their advisors and put full faith of what to do in situations in their people. In the events of the French revolution, Edmund Burke simply saw the revolutionaries as fighting to destroy the preexisting monarchy with vengeance and little ability to reestablish a new government.
