===================== HES POSTING ================== 
 
I yield to Romain's more detailed knowledge of the Legislative 
Assembly.  I believe the main point I was making, however, still holds: 
that the division between Left and Right was over political issues--how 
France was to be governed--and not over economic policy.  As for whether 
or not the French Revolution was a "bourgeois" revolution, that's far too 
big a can of worms to open any further here.  For anyone curious about 
the Revolution, I've found the most convincing recent narratives in 
English are William Doyle's, Simon Schama's (a great read), and the  
Blackwell translation of Francois Furet.
