At that time, the french society was divided in 3 parts: the nobles, the clergy (religious people like priest and monks), and the rest of the population (called le Tiers-Etat in french), who were mostly peasants. The two first parts had a lot of privileges. they payed less taxes (althought they were the richest), they were the only ones to have the right to hunt and fish, etc. The Tiers-Etat were very poor and so, they didn't have food, and the king didn't try to help them, no one cared.

What the French monarchy did that resulted in the French Revolution?
Well, when Louis the XVI came into power, there was ginormous debt from Louis the XIV, and his spending spree, (which included Versailles) and to try and settle this, he raised taxes. Taxes were already high, wages low, and food prices ridiculous, and to add to it, they had an awful harvest the previous season. This made the peasants kind of break, because unrest had been building for quite a few years. The nobles and the church were exempt from taxes, but forced their own taxes, and lived lavishly. Nobles and the church were only three percent of the population, and that made the peasants upset that they controlled so much. But the absolute breaking point was probably Louis' stupid decision to raise taxes.
