Despotism is reflected by the cruel and oppressive measures taken by an absolute dictator/monarch. However, in terms of the French Revolution, King Louis XVI did not take up such measures, and was not a despot in the sense that he oppressed the people. The people only perceived him to be a despot because of several "wrong" decisions that he made. This included the incident when he exiled the Paris parlements to Troyes when they refused to pass Calonne's tax reforms.
The people also feared ministerial despotism.
