why people gathered near the palace of louise xvi?
Answers
Answer:Louis XVI’s reign will forever be associated with the outbreak of the French Revolution and the end of Versailles’ royal era. Upon coming to the throne in 1774, Louis XVI inherited a kingdom beset with serious problems. In 1789, faced with a grave financial crisis, the king summoned a meeting of the Estates General at the palace. Later that year, ceding to popular pressure, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette left Versailles for Paris. Both died by the guillotine in 1793.

Answer:
People gathered near the palace of Louis XVI to revolt against the oppressive system. Following are the causes for that :
Social Cause :
1. Citizens were divided into three estates namely 1st estate (clergy people), 2nd estate (noble people) and 3rd estate (merchant, peasants,artisan)
2. Tax had to paid only by people of 3rd estate.
3. Clergy and nobility comprises of 10 percent of population but had 60 percent of land. While third estate comprises of 90 percent of population but had only 40 percent of land.
Economic Cause :
1. Population of France rose from 23 million in 1715 to 28 million in 1789.
2. This increased the demand for food grain. Demand was more but production was not capable to fulfill those demands.
3. Prices of goods went high. Labourers didn't get enough wages.
4. This led to subsistence crisis .
Political Cause :
1. Louis XVI came into power in 1774 and found empty treasury.
2. Long years of war drained whole treasury of France.
3. Under him, France helped 13 American colonies to gain their independence from Britain added more debt (around more 2 billion livres).
These were the causes for revolution. But the exact answer to your question is political causes created by Louis XVI. You can further add that he called an assembly to overcome this problem. 300 representative of first and second estate sat on front and 600 representative of third estate sat on back. People of third estate demanded equal voting rights. But king denied. And so on. As a conclusion discrimination resulted in revolution.
