    The French aristocracy had no need for a new constitution until they started getting slaughtered wholesale. Without the guillotine, there was no pressing need for “the new rules”. Quite the contrary, “the new rules” were overtly harmful to their aristocratic lifestyle. They accepted “the new rules” because the alternative was worse.
