What were the three main areas of discontent that led to the French Revolution?
Answer:
1.) Social Inequality - Organization and social privilege according to class lines which bred deep resentment within the underprivileged
2.) Political Inefficiency - The government were ambivalent and apathetic to their responsibilities as leaders and instead indulged in the vain pleasures of Versailles. In the absence of principled government, the court was often the focus of intrigue, scandal, and manipulation.
3.) Economic Irresponsibility - Taxes were applied unfairly, resulting in a grossly inefficient means of paying for government and thus a growing national debt.
