When Louis XVI called the estates general the taxes went up and evrything such as leather was far beyond more expensive
when the estates-general met under Louis XIV, they met under a disagreement on whether King Louis should pass a law to tax the Second Estate so that he would be able to help pay off France's debt.
By calling the Estates-General Louis the XIV would be at a disadvantage because it would give more power to the 1st Estate and the 2nd Estate. He would be losing power and he had no reason to call on the Estates-General. Louis the XVIII had to call on the Estates-General because the country was about to go bankrupt and he had no other choice but to call on the Estates-General and ask them for a loan.
