Explanation:
Economic causes: An empty treasury, a vast expenditure on army, cost of maintaining an extravagant court at the immense palace of versailles, and of running the government offices and universities ; all these forced the state to increase taxes;which would then lead to the outbreak of the revolution
Social causes:There was a feudal system of three estates - 1st, 2nd and 3rd Estate. There were special privileges for nobility and clergy who came under 1st and 2nd estates respectively, including non-payment of taxes. However, only the third estate could be taxed. Simultaneously, there was a population increase from 23 million in 1715 to 28 million in 1789. However, production of grains could not keep pace with the increased demand.
Political causes: The Bourbon king of France, Louis XVI was an extremely autocratic and weak willed king who led a life of obscene luxury. This led to a lot of disenchantment among the masses who then were leading life of extreme poverty and widespread hunger.
