In what ways did Louis xv differ from Louis xiv?

Louis XV differed from Louis XIV primarily in his approach to governance and his public persona. While Louis XIV epitomized absolute monarchy and centralized power, famously stating "L'état, c'est moi" ("I am the state"), Louis XV was more passive and relied heavily on his ministers, leading to a less decisive and more fragmented rule. Additionally, Louis XIV focused on military expansion and glory, whereas Louis XV's reign was marked by a series of military defeats and increasing public discontent. This contrast ultimately contributed to the declining influence of the monarchy by the end of Louis XV's reign.
