After fighting in the Seven Years'
War and the American Revolution, the French government of Louis XVI was
deeply in debt. The nobility and the clergy rejected proposals to
increase royal revenue that would force them to begin paying taxes. This
did not sit well with the commoners, who would have to bear the
financial burden despite having only a restricted role in the formation
of policy.
Inspired by Enlightenment philosophies that emphasized the equality
of all people, these commoners formed their own legislative body,
earning the support of the poor who were discontent with the king's
response to rising food prices.i hope this well help u in your time of need! :)
