How does this song express some of the ideals of the French Revolution?


"Sacred love of the fatherland.
Guide and support our vengeful arms.
Liberty, beloved liberty,
Fight with your defenders (2x)
Under our flags, so that victory
Will rush to your mainly strains;
That your dying enemies
Should see your triumph and glory.

To arms, citizens!
Form up your battalions.
Let us march, let us march!
That their impure bloos
Should water our fields."

im thinking something involved wit the 3 estates?
 
The ideals of the French revolution were liberty, equality, and fraternity. The armies of revolutionary France were citizen armies. Officers advanced by merit rather than family name.
All were equal. All were brothers. All were free.
