    The French citizens revolted against their king in 1789 for several economic and political reasons. They faced high taxes to support the lavish lifestyle of the royal court while many citizens lived in poverty. Additionally, the Third Estate had no political power and resented the privileges of the First and Second Estates. The heavy tax burden on peasants and lack of representation of common citizens in government led to widespread discontent and sparked the French Revolution.
