Answers
Answer:
Yes louis 16 was a despotic ruler indeed
Explanation:
Because he was not at all bothered by the people of his own country especially the people of third estate who were continuously been exploited and suppressed regularly by demanding high taxation or revenue and if they refused to pay or they were not able to pay then their land was being occupied by clergy and nobility.
Also when the people of third estate demanded that from now the voting sytem should be changed i.e. each person should have one vote , this proposal was rejected by the ruler which made people of his own country stand and revolt against him.
He also spent on lot of money in the management and extravagence of his court and never paid attention to his people's problems.
