When Louis XVI succeeded to the throne in 1774, he was 19. He had an enormous responsibility, as the government was deeply in debt, and resentment towards 'despotic' monarchy was on the rise. Louis also felt woefully unqualified for the job. He aimed to earn the love of his people by reinstating the parlements.

He was considered to be weak ad indecisive.
