What was the difference between popular action at the Bastille and the march on Versailles?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The Bastille was an attack on a symbol of repression, while the Versailles march pressured the king over bread

Option A correctly distinguishes the immediate targets and causes while recognising that both events expressed popular political action. On 14 July 1789, Parisians attacked the Bastille, a royal fortress and prison that symbolised arbitrary monarchical power. They also wanted arms and ammunition, so the event had practical as well as symbolic importance. On 5–6 October 1789, thousands of women marched from Paris to Versailles because bread was scarce and expensive. Their action demanded food and accountability and placed direct pressure on the king and the National Assembly; the royal family was subsequently brought to Paris. The two events were therefore different in target and immediate grievance, not religious or foreign commands.
