Because of Louis 16, the taxes raised (he had to pay the loan of 300 million francs which were used for helping 13 American colonies gain independence, holding the royal court of Versllies, running government offices, universities, paying govt. officials)
Taxes were to be paid only by the Third estate, which had most population, most of them being poor peasants, artisans, shopkeepers, factory labourers etc.
Prices of bread increased while there was a subsistence crisis(shortage of food)
People already angered by the increased taxes, got angered more due to shortage of food, less health care
