Answer 2

Answer:

The kings before the Louis XVI spent money on their lavish lifestyle.

Long years of war had drained the financial resources of France. France had a debt of more than 2 billion livres. 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 which angered the people.
