Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI were executed during the French Revolution primarily due to their perceived betrayal of the French people and their opposition to revolutionary ideals. They were viewed as symbols of the monarchy's excesses and failures, particularly in the face of widespread poverty and political unrest. Their attempts to flee the country and seek foreign support further fueled suspicions of treason, leading the revolutionary government to see execution as a necessary measure to protect the revolution and establish a new political order.
