Answer:

He described them as unjust and violent. And their actions and inactions have led to poverty in France and excessive wars.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1694, Archbishop Fenelon who was at the time a tutor to one of the children of King Louis XIV wrote an anonymous letter to the King. In it, he described Louis XIV's ministers and their effect on France as unjust and violent.

To him, they only do the King's wishes and not that of the French people at large. And their actions have led to an increase in the poverty level of France and at the same time led to unnecessary wars. As a result of these, people are no longer happy with the King's rule.
