King Louis VXI and Marie Antoinette "Poor Leaders" -- Kelsey

King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette brought the problems onto themselves. King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were not strong leaders. King Louis XVI did not know how to be a good and wise king to France. He was too lazy. Marie Antoinette did not come to France prepared to be the queen of France. I believe it was their fault that France started hating them.

King Louis XVI was a lazy and boring king. Also Louis XVI was dull minded. Louis XVI did not care about the government. Louis XVI was disinterested and could not make decisions, which he needed to make for France. All he cared about was fixing or making locks and keys. He spent his spare time making or fixing locks and keys. King Louis XVI was a weak king.

Marie Antoinette was not ready to be the queen of France. Marie did not know enough about France and the people that lived there. She did not care very much. I think she cared more when she first started being the queen then after; but either way she did not care as much as she should have. Marie cared about having parties with her close friends and family more than caring about France. Marie spent more money on her parties and her person garden than on France. Also she spent money on plants around the castle.

The fact that Marie Antoinette spent most of the money on her parties and her garden, Louis raised the taxes. When they raised taxes that is when France started to hate Marie Antoinette and King Louis VXI. France became poor. They did not have food for their families. France started to attack the castle. Louis, Marie and the children had a chance to leave, but the decided to stay. Some of France took King Louis XVI and his family, eventually to watch them. They tried to escape but a man noticed who they were. King Louis and his family were brought back. Louis and Marie were killed. I believe it was their fault that all of this happened, because they were such poor leaders.
