The true story about how they find out it was the king and his family is because he gave a Louis made of gold (it's incredibly expensive but since he lived as rich he didn't thought of it) and it literally had his face on it... For the guillotine part, no they didn't get killed for stealing a candy for exemple but it was more because the 1st and 2nd Estate (that were 99% of times forgiven just because they're part of this group) on the 1% of times where they were killed as punishment had quick and painless deaths where the 3rd Estate died by hanging or drowning with is very horrible and painful... the new rule was quick and painless death to all the ones that did something bad enough to get killed whatever if they're part of the first, second or third Estate... for the less bad things...they were mostly jailed Fun fact: "Sans-culottes" in french means without underwears... to show how much the 3rd Estate was poor For the vote thing: it was more like: you look smart, i'm going to vote like you do because you look smart and you're on my side... since voting wasn't confidential and people were going to vote all together
It wasn't really a gold coin, it was an "assignat", a proto banknote introduced by the finance minister louis XVI fired in the previous video. But, yeah pretty much something he wasn't really aware of, as it was a new thing.
Oversimplified’s video on the Napoleonic wars is still his best video. Y’all needa watch that asap!

They meant the same punishment as in for a desth sentence.. they didn't kill you for theft
