2. **Look at your completed table. Choose from it at least one reason why many French people wanted to change the way France was run.** People were not satisfied with the unfair society of France. The King had absolute power, whatever he wanted, he could have it. He used sealed letters and send the victims to prison or exile for as long as he wanted to. People disliked this because they were killed for no reason. The 3rd estate eagerly wanted to change because they had no privileges at all. They had to pay taxes for everything. Nobles and clergy also had to pay some but most of them, they got an exempt from it. Peasants also had to pay for using tools in their daily life such as an oven. Also, the government was using too much money that their outcome was more than the income resulting the bankrupt economy in France.

3. **Sort these events and developments into the order in which they happened:**

E. The government spent more each year than it received in taxes, so... B. The governmen was deeply in debt, so... G. the Finance Minister planned to raise money with a new tax on land. But... C. Louis XVI ordered a meeting of the Estates General, hoping it would agree to the new tax. But... A. an assembly of nobles and clergy refused to agree to the new tax, so... I. the government went bankrupt, so... H. Louis XVI decided to hold a royal session of the Estates General, and warn the third estate not to defy him, but... D. the Third Estate deputies took over the Estates General and turned it into a National Assembly, so... F. the deputies gathered in a tennis court and swore on oath that they would continue to meet.

E and G were the causes and D and F were the consequences.

People disliked Marie Antoinette's extravagent spending was mainly political, social, and economic problem. Too much spending led the bankrupt of France and because she only cared about her spending, she didn't take care of the other problems that the country was facing. For example, French people were suffering from the hunger due to the crop failure. However, she never took a role as a king's wife which was a political problem. Also, here greediness made social problems causing people to hate her.
 * 4. Here are some reasons why Louis XVI and his government were unpopular by 1789:**

I think the king and his ministers having too much power was the most important reason. It was because everything started from the overpowering king. He didn't rule the country with fairness, instead making social classes that discriminated people. Also, his actions toward different problems made people to suffer from hunger and poverty.
 * 5. Which of the reasons for the government's unpopularity do you think was the most important? Explain your answer.**

I think even though he didn't marry Marie Antoinette, the government have been unpopular. He was the one who took control of poor people. If he was more active in organizing the society and hearing the citizen's opinions, the country should have been more fair and organized not resulting the unpopularity of France.
 * 6. If Louis XVI had not married Marie Antoinette, do you think his government would still have been unpopular by 1789? Explain your answer.**
