Thursday, Dec 15, 2011 Quiet Question: Type Two Prompt---Making Decisions during the French Revolution---All of us make decisions all of the time, most of which (what we wear today) are trivial. Occasionally, we (individually and as institutions), face a significant and difficult decision. We are going to analyze the process that people SHOULD follow when making important decisions and then apply this process to the historical decision-making scenario. You will work with a partner on this. Your task is to advise King Louis XVI as to what he should do, following the steps laid out above. Answer each question and give historical evidence from your notes in the last two lessons to explain your reasoning.
