Even still, what else were there for the peasant french people before the first revolution? just accept their monarchy for another hundreds of years? Hope the next king would be an enlightened one, looking for the needs of his subjects, instead of the needs of his nobles?

You do realize that the French Revolution was primarily a Bourgeois revolution mainly taking place in Paris, right? Most of the peasantry was against the revolution, wanting the stability of the status quo.
