Question

how was king louis xvi one of the central causes of the french revolution?
he accumulated reserves of money that others needed.
he made protestantism the state religion.
he ruled with absolute authority.
he wanted to abolish the class system in france.

Explanation:

King Louis XVI ruled France with absolute authority. This led to widespread discontent among the French people, especially the Third Estate (commoners), who had few rights and were heavily taxed. His mismanagement of the economy (not accumulating reserves for others as stated in the first option), and his association with the Ancien Régime's unfair class system (he did not want to abolish the class system as in the fourth option) contributed to the revolutionary fervor. Also, France was a Catholic - majority country, and he did not make Protestantism the state religion (eliminating the second option).

Answer:

He ruled with absolute authority.
