Louis XVI was the last king of France before the fall of the monarchy during the French Revolution
Explanation:
- When the French Revolution ended, Louis XVI was king of France. Owing to high debt and rising prices, the French economy suffered under Louis XVI. When drought & poor grain harvests resulted in higher prices for bread, the people started to revolt.
- King Louis XIV had earlier controlled his kingdom to ensure that it had increased the monarchy 's absolute dominance and effectively abolished the remnants of the old feudal regime.
- The royal treasury was empty after his accession. He increased taxation rather than cut back on his own extravagance. The French people were seriously dissatisfied. He misused money on wasteful festivities as a pleasure-loving man.
- His wife, Marie Antoinette perpetually intefered in the administration and The King never objected to her His laked farsightedness and this personality disadvantage made him a pretty unpopular king.
- He introduced he Estates General where the first estates & second estate that comprised Clergy & nobles had all the powers. The third Estate that comprised commoners paid all the taxes and were stuck in their poor position
