What does it is not a revolt it is a revolution mean said by king Louis xiv?
1) It was not Louis XIV, it was Louis XVI 2) It was not said by him, it was said to him 3) It probably wasn't said at all. A revolt is a localised violent protest against a government. A revolution is a complete turnaround - of the earth, for example, or of the state of affairs in a country. The word used in the latter sense was new in the 18th century. Oddly, if this remark was ever made to Louis XVI, it was entirely accurate, since the constitution of France turned through 360 degrees after 1789 and came back, in 1815, to exactly where it started.
