Georges Danton, who later became active in revolutionary politics, wrote to a friend in 1793, looking back upon the time when he had just completed his studies: "I was educated in the residential college of plessis. There i was in the company of important men. Once my studies ended i was left with nothing. i started looking for a post. it was impossible to find one at the law courts in Paris. The choice of a career in the army was not open to me as i was not a noble by birth, nor did i have a patron. The church too could not offer me a refuge. I could not buy an office as i did not possess a sou. My old friends turned their backs to me.The system had provided us with an education without however offering a field where our talents could be utilized." QUESTIONS: i. What do you mean by Old Regime? ii. What does the writer mean by ‘I was left with nothing’? iii. Which system is he criticizing, when he says ‘it has provided us without offering a field? iv. What do you think why he is unable to find work in courts and army?
