History

Louis XVI was tried for treason because  <u>he wanted France to lose its war against Austria and have his power restored</u>.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Louis XVI was king of France during the French Revolution of 1789. In that year, he had called delegates from all regions of France to participate in national debates and find solutions to the economic crisis that happened in the country. Eventually, this event allowed people to organize and start a revolution. The delegates gathered in Versailles to wrote a new constitution and elected a national assembly. It was only in 1992 that they decided to withdraw Louis XVI's powers and to judge him for his crimes.

The official reason for the trial was the discovery of documents hidden in a secret vault at the palace of the Tuileries, former residence of the king. These documents proved the involvement of Louis XVI in a conspiracy to help the Austrians to win their war against France, and allow him to find back his position at the head of the country. After the French Revolution, the European monarchies made war on France to prevent this change of political system to take place in their countries as well. On January 15, 1793, the deputies voted the death of the former king of France. He was killed on January 21 of the same year by the <em>guillotine</em>, in Paris, on the <em>Place de la Revolution.</em>

What is the legislative process​
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

First, a Representative sponsors a bill.

The bill is then assigned to a committee for study.

If released by the committee, the bill is put on a calendar to be voted on, debated or amended.

If the bill passes by simple majority (218 of 435), the bill moves to the Senate.

In the Senate, the bill is assigned to another committee and, if released, debated and voted on.

If the Senate makes changes, the bill must return to the House for concurrence.  

The resulting bill returns to the House and Senate for final approval.

The President then has 10 days to veto the final bill or sign it into law.
