C) Debt accrued by the treasury for its involvement in the American Revolution.
D) France's outdated estates system that gave the upper class too much power.
Explanation:
The French Revolution was the major game-changer of the whole of the French government. The decade-long revolution starting from 1789 to 1799 led to a number of changes in the political, and even social scene of the nation.
The major causes of the French Revolution were the ineffective ruling of the king, Louis XVI. Aside from that, the <u>immense crop failure</u> which led to the increased suffering of the poorer sections of the society led to the uproar. The people demanded changes were required so as to make everyone an equal part of the government. Moreover, their hardships were further led on by the <u>huge debt that France had after its involvement in the American Revolution</u>, which hugely impacted the financial condition. Added to that, the <u>Estates system where the upper class were given more power over the lower class </u>led to a major conflict of interest among the masses. All these factors led to the French revolution.
Thus, the <u>correct answers are options A, C, and D.</u>
