France was declared bankrupt in 1788.
Louis XIV had made huge state debts by building the Versailles palace and declaring wars (especially with Austria and England) which cost too much money. When Louis XV entered the throne, there was a state debt of 400 million livres, and he couldn't repay the debts. He tried to though, by making the French pay taxes (everybody had too, except the clergy and nobility).
It wasn't enough, and when Louis XVI succeeded him all he could do is raise the taxes and hope for the best. It didn't work out, and France went bankrupt.
* France had spent allot of funds helping the American Revolution.
<span>4000 million lives in debt.<span>France had spent a lot of money fighting costly wars, but had nothing to show for it. Many people accused the royals, especially Queen Marie- Antoinette of spending too much money on luxuries.</span></span>

luda_lava [24]
The declarations of the letter to the U.S. Congress by the economists concerning the bailouts are evidently specified the disagreement of the source of the letter about the GM bailout. The document stated that the bailout would disrupt the notion of free market in U.S. and that it will break the people who held in the free market (Velasquez, 2012). Also, the bailout and government interference will shift the free market economy into socialism (ibid). The economists and other parties which is convoluted in the making of the letter, sustained the free market economy. They do not approve on government interruption as it disrupts the mechanism of the market that is free of any interference particularly from the government. The sources of the letter thought that it was GM’s own accountability to bail itself out of the insolvency. The bankruptcy was a consequence of bad management of the company and it was its own accountability to resolve the matter. The interference by the government will move the market mechanism. The bailout will disturb the equal right of the people of life, freedom, and possessions as what John Locke’s notion. Furthermore, government meddling will also lower the public’s safety based on Adam Smith’s theory.
