Question

3. What was Marie Antoinette's nickname? What did this nickname indicate how

Answer 1

Hey there!

During the French Revolution, Marie Antoinette was often referred to as Madame Déficit. This is because she was living such a lavish life that the bourgeoisie (middle class) and lower classes had to pay very high taxes that weren't even used to help support the country, which is why she earned this nickname.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

“Madame Deficit” because of her lavish spending. Another nickname was “Madame Veto.” She acquired this nickname because the French were leery of her, because they blamed her for many of France's problems, and because they also thought she tricked Louis XVI into using his veto power. Hope this helps
