                             Imagine you are the 14-year old child of a trader. Write a paragraph on what you feel about the Sumptuary Laws in France.

    Answer:

                      The Sumptuary Laws in France are aimed at controlling the behaviour of those considered socially inferior by the aristocracy. These laws prevented individuals from the lower strata of society, like my trading family, from wearing certain clothes, consuming certain foods and beverages and hunting game in certain areas. They do not permit us to enjoy our lives, even if we have the money to do so. On the other hand, this has also reduced our customers, as we are able to sell the good things to only a limited number of clientele. Now, my father is trying to export goods in other European countries.
