Using what you have learned from class, write a letter to Louis XVI persuading him to take a certain
action before the country turns to revolution. You may write your letter from the perspective of any
class/estate. Be sure to include what specific actions Louis should take, as well as how you believe
this will benefit the country as a whole and keep them from turning to revolution.

Answer 1

Dear King Louis XVI,

As a member of the Third Estate, I am writing to you with great concern for the future of our country. The people are growing increasingly frustrated and disillusioned with the current state of affairs, and I fear that if action is not taken soon, we will be faced with a revolution that could have disastrous consequences for us all.

I implore you to take immediate action to address the issues facing our country. Specifically, I believe that you must make sweeping reforms to the tax system and provide greater representation to the Third Estate in government.

Currently, the burden of taxation falls disproportionately on the Third Estate, while the First and Second Estates are largely exempt. This is deeply unfair and contributes to the growing resentment and anger felt by the people. By implementing a fairer tax system, you will not only ease the burden on the Third Estate but also demonstrate your commitment to the welfare of all your subjects.

Taking these actions will demonstrate your commitment to the well-being of your subjects and go a long way towards easing tensions in the country. If we can work together to address the concerns of the people, we can prevent a revolution that could have dire consequences for us all.

I urge you to act quickly and decisively before it is too late.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
