Answer 1

It inspired the French people but it bankrupted Louis XIV’s government supporting it

The best description of the irony of the French Revolution is that even though it inspired the French people, it rendered the government of Louis XVI bankrupt for its support.

This is ironic because even though the people were looking for a revolution, they were not financially ready.
