What is the most significant accomplishment of King Louis 16?
Opinions vary as they always do depending on how the accomplishment
affected them for the better or for the worst. But his most notable
work was to reform France with enlightened ideas, such as tolerance
towards non-Catholics, abolish serfdom, and remove the Taille.
However his ideas were met with hostility but his work against the
unpopular Ancien Regime was his most significant accomplishment as
people viewed him as a symbol of tyranny, his status fell apart and
he fled France. So in short, he had significant accomplishments but
they weren't exactly good or popular.

All of the above is taken from Nesta Webster's Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette during the Revolution , but it is a matter of public record. Anyone who thinks Louis XVI was a lazy, sluggish, do-nothing king need only examine the six volumes of laws passed during his reign. He wanted to reform the feudal tax system, which is why he called the Estates-General. If all the nobles and wealthy clergy had been minimally taxed, there would have been no deficit.

Why was Louis 16 a bad king?
No, he was not. In fact, if there would have been another person in his place on the throne at that time, there still would have been a revolution. Revolutionary feelings wer…en't new, the bourgeoisie had already had them back in the time of Louis XIV who had build Versailles, which drained the treasury, and Louis XIV made the bourgeoisie (not the nobility and not the clergy) pay taxes to fill the huge gap. By the time it was Louis XVI's turn on the throne, France was bankrupt and taxes were sky high.
