Question

do you agree or disagree that king louis XVI and Marie Antoinette should have been executed? Explain your asnwer

Answer 1

yes because their actions lead to the French revolution because they didn't acknowledge the financial issues that France had. they preferred to go hunting and do leisure activities while the county was in a crisis.

Answer 2

Well, from todays perspective I would not agree, because I am against the capital punishment, but on the other side, in the 18th century France it was the only punishment that they deserved because of their actions. They neglected needs of people, led them to poverty and main died due to terrible conditions of living. They were the worst possible leaders of the country, and there was no other solution, taking into account that Louis even wanted to bring foreign forces to kill revolutionist. He betrayed his country and back then death was the only sentence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Although, from our perspective execution is a horrible thing, back in the days it was the only way of solving this type of issues.

It was a harsh and even awful solution, it was necessary to prove that state is above every individual, including the king and queen.

Therefore, harsh as it may seem they should have been executed.
