Explanation:

The French Revolution was spurred by social, economic and political ills. The lower - classes had no political voice (lack of representation). Oppressive leadership by the monarchy and aristocracy was a factor. High taxes on the lower class added to economic hardship, as did high poverty rates. The establishment of a state religion was not a primary cause of the revolution.

Answer:

• lack of representation for the lower classes
• oppressive leadership
• high taxes on the lower class
• high rates of poverty
