why was louis xvi considered ineffectual?\nhe decreased the taxes on the aristocracy.\nhe failed to respond…

Brief Explanations:

Louis XVI is seen as ineffectual mainly because during his reign, he did not address the economic hardships and social - political demands of the French people. His inaction contributed to the growing discontent that led to the French Revolution. Decreasing taxes on the aristocracy was part of the fiscal mismanagement but not the main reason for his ineffectuality. Supporting the US in the American Revolution was not what made him ineffectual in domestic affairs. And he was not only advised by the clergy.

Answer:

He failed to respond to the needs of the people.
