She was extravgant and loved fine things.She helped select government ministers without knowing the responsibilities of their portfolios, and regardless of thier capabilities.
Is this better. please add anything needed.
I'd add that Marie Antoinette was executed on the guillotine because the mob resented her aristocratic greed.
The storming of the Batille is a symbol of the people's uprising against the monarchy. Although it only held a few prisoners, it respresented the overthrow of the government.
thank you very much. Overall is everything good?
would the storming of the batille go under bastille
Yes.
