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 the economic and monetary crisis in France, including famine, discontent, and tax issues. The goal was to attempt reform to address these economic problems. The option "to move France toward a constitutional monarchy" was not the initial aim. Stopping the famine was part of the broader economic crisis, and "giving the people a voice" was not the primary reason. The main reason was to deal with the economic and monetary crisis through reform.

Answer:

to attempt economic and monetary crisis reform
