Question

amidst ongoing famine, rising discontent, and increased taxes louis xvi called a meeting of the estates - general leading up to the french revolution. this was the first time this call had been issued in one hundred fifty years. why did the king call this meeting?
○ to move france toward a constitutional monarchy
○ to create a plan of action to stop the famine
○ to give the people a voice
○ to attempt economic and monetary crisis reform

Explanation:

Louis XVI called the Estates - General due to France's economic and monetary crisis (famine, discontent, increased taxes). The goal was to reform the economic situation. Moving to a constitutional monarchy was not the initial aim, stopping famine was part of the economic crisis, and giving people a voice was not the primary reason. The main reason was to address the economic and monetary crisis through reform.

Answer:

D. to attempt economic and monetary crisis reform
