When the king called for a meeting of the estates-general the commoners of the third estate demanded more power and formed a national assembly. fearing royal plots against them the people of paris stormed the bastille and began to arm themselves

a. true
b. false?

The answer is True.  Already hungry and living in hard conditions, the move of the king to send troops to Paris was the final straw that angered the people.  When they attacked the Bastille, it was the start of the French Revolution.

The answer is True. I hope this helps! :)

the catholic church withhold people's access to the bible during the middle ages.

people could go to church and listen to the teachings, but it was absolutely forbidden to own and/or read the books of both the old and new testaments. it was also prohibited to translate the books (which where originally in biblical hebrew) to any other language.

this was done so the church could remain in control of what their teachings were and to enhance their importance and power, while also being able to judge people's actions through information that was unavailable for the general public.
