You're being a bit vague here.

Factors 1 and 2 are pretty much the same thing as the major discontent was with high taxes which exasapated the economic crisis ( especially public debt vs inflation ). Factor 3 was tied to 1 and 2 because of the system by which nobles did not have do pay taxes and profited from the company ( the General Farm ) that collected them. Though many claimed inspiration from No.4 for their actions it seems hard to credit their actions afterwards ( The Great Terror etc ) as being motivated too greatly by concern for the rights of man.

If you're trying to make an essay out of this issue I would suggest showing how No's 1, 2 and 3 are all interconnected with No 4 perhaps giving courage to the revolutionaries but recognizing that few of the resulting crimes of the revolutionaries can be attributed to a deep love for individual liberty. ( Thomas Paine ended up concluding the same thing himself )
