The Contemporary Age

Later, the Revolution broke out in France (1789), motivated, in part, by the resistance of two social classes (clergy and nobility) to pay the same taxes as the common people. The French Revolution brought with it the approval of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, opening a new path for humanity and the historical period known as the Contemporary Age.

At the same time, the independence of the United States (18th century) took place, which was then a colony of England, and one of the causes of the rebellion was the heavy taxes that England charged the Americans.
