So which side would the Clinton's be on in the French Revolution?
Just curious, since the subject was brought up for the rest of us
1. With Marat and the sans-coulottes 2. With Robespierre and the Jacobins 3. With de Sade and the Montagnards 4. With Lafayette and the Girondins 5. Under the guillotine

18. Opposing free market reforms like Marie did?
Interesting. Necker, whom she opposed at all turns, was against subsidising bread for the poor (as were the Jacobins); she was for it. She also never said "let them eat cake". She gets a bad rap.

7. Are you serious?
The answer for either should be obvious.
Bill Clinton was an orphan in a rural area were the odds of his survival to adulthood would be very poor. He had no familial connections to get a trade and certainly no way to get into the petite bourgeoisie. He'd be an illiterate laborer, at best. He wouldn't have been given the choice to side with the aristocrats. Hillary was born into the petite bourgeoisie or more likely trade. She also would have been illiterate, schooled only in the womanly virtues. If she had married up she still wouldn't have been an aristocratic on any level. However it's possible her husband could have been involved in serving the aristocracy in some way. Which ever side Hillary's husband decided he was on would be the one Hillary would be on. She wouldn't get to choose. |

17. They wouldn't be married to each other, first off
As a bourgeois woman she probably wouldn't have participated directly at all.
Chicago is probably roughly equivalent to Marseille, so her husband would probably be a Girondin. Bill as a poor rural orphan would probably have ended up revolting in the Vendee with the other western peasants. |
