Characteristics of Louis xvi
Answers
Answer:
Louis XVI appears to have been well-meaning and weak-willed, although not stupid by ordinary standards. However, he was no match for the ruthless, intelligent and manipulative characters who get to the top of politics.
Louis XVI was no judge of character and could not tell the good from the bad and the ugly among his ministers. He is said to always agree with the last person who spoke with him, so he seems to have been gullible.
Louis XIV had the trick of leaving his palace in disguise and going to Paris to find out what was really happening. Louis XVI could not manage this to save himself.
Yet he was pious, faithful to his wife, and technically knowledgeable. He even made an improvement to a device for the humane execution of felons proposed by Doctor Guillotin.
