In generalised terms, people were unsatisfied with the feudal way, especially those with money. The initial goal was not to overthrow the monarchy however, just make it a constitutional one, and in line with bourgeoisie interests.

The country was in debt, and since all of the taxes fell upon the 3rd Estate, it caused a growing dissatisfaction. Louis the 16 th was unable to make the 1st and 2nd help pay, and Marie-Antoinette was a convenient scapegoat.
