Answer 2

The population of France rose from 23 million in 1715 to 28 million in 1789. This led to a rapid increase in the demand for foodgrains. Production of grain couldn't keep pace with the demand. So the price of bread which was the staple food of the majority which rose rapidly. But the wages didn't rise with the rise in prices.Therefore the gap between the poor and the rich widened. This led to Subsistence Crisis.
