Answer:
Old Regime - The political and social system that existed in France before the revolution of 1789.
Long years of war had drained the financial resources of France . Added to this was the cost of maintaining an extravagant court at the immenes palace of Versailles.
The war added more than billion livres to a debt that had already risen ti more than 2 billion livres. Leander who gave the state credit, now began to charge 10 percent interest on loans. So the French government was obliged to spend an increasing percentage of its budget on interest payments alone. To meet its regular expenses, such as the cost of maintaining an army, the court, running government offices or universities, the state was forced to increase taxes.
