Kuwait s Parliamentary Revolution

And so a constitution does get created.

But we're not going to call this the Convocation of the Estates General.

And they proclaimed the Tennis Court Oath. Tennis Court Oath.

Franklin said, A republic, madam, if you can keep it.

It's the same with my National Assembly.

Not necessarily someone who can create laws.

So 1793 we're in now.

And that was kind of his way of saying NO.

That scares people even more.

I've just been at a meeting of the National Sports executive.

He seems like he has everything going in his favor.

SONGS

Which is America's Jupiter?

We had a meeting in French.

UN Secretary General,

She is a British citizen but her native land is France.

This is a term by Steve Benner.

He wasn't into this kind of constitutional monarchy that was forming, this power that was being lost to the National Assembly.

So they imprison my spelling imprison Louis XlV and Marie Antoinette.

The current National Assembly, which is kind of the beginning of the Revolution, they themselves are on some level massacring people.

So I said, Okay.

And while he was there, the French Revolution and the Convocation of the Estates General started happening. and he said, gee, you know what?

Our people are dying, Senator.

So, asked in that way,

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much.

And they're also able to do some machinations within the actual National Assembly.

So for at least temporarily, the external threat was diffused, if you want to call it that way.

And so he goes back to Saint Domingue and tells the governor, look, all of this craziness has been happening in France, we have a National Assembly, and they've essentially given me the right to vote.

1906.

I love coming to Doha. It's such an international place.

But there were also rumors that the King was being very disrespectful to some of the symbols of the new France, of the new National Assembly.
