Answer:

The queen took charge of most important decisions as Louis XVI became emotionally paralyzed.

Step-by-step explanation:

On June 21, 1791, the family attempted to escape from the capital to the eastern frontier, with the help of the Swedish Count Axel von Fersen and the Baron de Breteuil. The plan involved disguising themselves and using a heavy, conspicuous coach drawn by six horses, instead of two light carriages suggested by Fersen. The escape was unsuccessful.
