(1) The French government under Emperor Louise XVI was under huge debt in the 18th century.

(2) The government imposed heavy taxes on the French citizens to meet its expenditure.

(3) The King, the nobility and the clergy lived a lavish life whereas the common people of France lived in misery and were burdened with heavy taxation.

(4) The feudal system gave the big landlords the power to enjoy various privileges and exploit the poor peasants by extracting taxes and tributes from them.

(5) The clergy also collected separate taxes called Tithes from the people.

(6) The prices of essential commodities were very high due to increased demand and wages were low. This made survival difficult for the poor sections of the society.
