There isn't one biggest cause for the French revolution, however major causes can be:
1. Political: French monarchy at the time considered themselves as 'representatives of gods' and had complete control over France. All kings before the French revolution (Louis XIV, XV and XVI) like unlimited power and arrested anyone they wanted to arrest. People were against that.
2. Social: France was a very miserable country during and before the French revolution, with society divided in three classes, the nobles, clerks and common people. Nobles and clerks had total authority and were the wealthiest. common people had to live in very bad conditions for their whole lives without anything to protect them from exploitation and poverty.
3. Economic: Due to past wars, France was in a huge debt. To reduce the increase in debt, France removed ministers, which only caused it to increase. As new ministers were appointed, the condition just worsened, with the debt increasing to nearly 1 billion Franks. The taxes caused lots of people from most classes to rebel, so the country could return to its great power.
Social inequality, economic hardship, and Enlightenment ideas were major causes of the French Revolution.
A major cause of the French Revolution was social inequality and economic hardship. The French society was divided into three estates, with the First and Second Estates (the clergy and nobility) enjoying privileges and exempt from taxation, while the Third Estate (commoners) bore the burden of heavy taxes. This created resentment and a sense of injustice among the common people.
Additionally, widespread poverty and famine, coupled with rising bread prices, led to widespread discontent and anger towards the monarchy. The economic crisis was exacerbated by France's involvement in expensive wars, such as the Seven Years' War and the American War of Independence.
The Enlightenment ideas of equality, liberty, and popular sovereignty also played a significant role in inspiring the French Revolution. Philosophers like Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Voltaire criticized the monarchy and advocated for a more democratic and fair society.
