Louis deserves to die because of many reasons, including letting his people starve to death. However Marie Antoinette doesn't really deserve to die because it isn't really her fault. She was too busy looking after the kids while Louis being the king and all should've taken charge of France in the right way. Marie was young and came from a different country so she wasn't as much experienced as Louis.

Does anyone deserve to die?
Does anyone deserve to die?
I don't think so. But the point here is not whether they deserved it or not. the point was to end monarchy and the rule of one person over all others. How else would the French people accomplish this without showing that they were not afraid of killing the king?

Other countries would have probably not have transitioned from absolute monarchies into more democratic forms of government had the message not been clear as this. Or do you think they could have?

In my opinion, king Louis deserved to die. He owned the most important role: being a king. This role blinded him. He only cared about himself, so he collects everyone's taxes and use it to build a gigantic palace. That wasn't the end of it, he kept extending the palace. Also, king Louis should've been more mature and have better leadership. One thing that he could've done is to live in the villages and as a peasant for at least a week. This should have given him second thoughts about the peasants and his foolish leadership.

On the other hand, I think Marie Antoinette didn't deserve to die. She was only 15 years old when she became queen, so she barely had any experience. But, just like king Louis, she was blinded with money. She did consider some of the peasants. She built a "play village" for her self and several peasants. The thing is, what she built wasn't how the peasants homes looked like. They were bigger and more sturdy than the peasants' actually houses. Her building a play village tells us that she wasn't ready to become a queen. If you waited at least five more years and given a chance for her to live as a peasant, she would've been a better leader than king Louis the 16th.

I think that Louis and Marie did indeed deserve to die. I believe this due to the fact that they were not mindful of others and only thought about themselves rather than others. The both of them were spending money continuously on unnecessary things, for example, Marie was always spending money on lavish parties and Louis never stopped her. The King and Queen would always listen to the nations problems yet never even attempt solving them. In conclusion, I think their deaths were their faults, if they ruled the country properly this wouldn't have been the result.

Louis and Marie Antoinette only had themselves to blame for their deaths, because ultimately, they brought it upon themselves. The main factor contributing to their downfall was the fact that they spent money like it grew on trees, and that too on unnecessary luxuries. The money they spent wasn't even THEIRS!! It was the peasant's hard-earned money that they had worked for and the King and Queen were there squandering it all away. 

They were not very politically savvy and had very little experience of ruling as they got married as teens and were extremely young and naive. Whilst they were having baths in strawberries and pulling their pants down for fun, the peasants had their pants falling down because they didn't have enough to eat and they were living in tiny shacks, eating grass. 

Unfortunately, this continued for a long time until the peasants put their foot down and said "NO!" The King and Queen got what was coming to them and ultimately, what they deserved: their heads chopped off.

Louis XVI was already being unfair about taxes, laws and lots of other things. They DO deserve it. When people can't buy bread because it is most of their salary, then people, like they did, should go and gather people and revolt. This should ALL be taken VERY seriously, and they should not live because of their cruelty to others. They should be abandoned, he should sign papers on what will happen next, and their heads should be chopped off.

I believe that Louis and Marie Antoinette were mostly to blame. They were both living lavish lifestyles while some peasants weren't even able to afford bread. The monarchy was oblivious to the starvation around them even though this was almost all of the population. The monarchy, the clergy and the nobility were living amazing lives while the peasants were earning nothing for their hard work. They also believed that they had the right to do what they wanted to do from god which is unfair because what they did didn't help anyone but themselves. They weren't bothered to see how the peasants were handling life, instead having the time of their lives when peasants were dying of starvation.
It wasn't entirely their faults because they were young and inexperienced when it came to ruling a country. 
I believe that the French Revolution could have been prevented if the monarchy had payed more attention to their people.

I personally believe that only Louis XVI deserved to die because even before his reign, he'd been shown as incapable to be King of France, and taking on the responsibility to be King is serious indeed and shouldn't be taken lightly. He abused his power and should have known much better to do so, considering the fact that he comes from a royal family. Louis XVI never took consideration into the perspectives of the citizens of France, and was too indulged in his wealth and power; leading the country to a terrible bankruptcy.

Unlike Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette was more strong-willed than Louis XVI - making Louis XVi a weaker monarchy. Louis XVI was clearly less experienced than Marie Antoinette. Marie Antoinette had more potential than Louis XVI and could exceed everyone's average expectations of her. 

Marie Antoinette sought a little more respect than Louis XVI to others, and I don't think she should be mixed up with Louis XVI's mess ups and issues.

I think that King Louis and Marie Antoinette were blinded by their greed for a lavish life. Marie Antoinette spent the country’s money and King Louis did nothing to stop it. King Louis never showed concern for the country’s problems and turned a blind eye whilst Lords, nobility and clergy unfairly taxed peasants. The country was starving and peasants could not pay for bread, yet King Louis showed no concern, leading to the peasants bringing him down. He also believed he had the right to do however he pleased and that his authority to rule came directly from god. They deserved to die because of how little they cared for their people.
     However, I do believe that King Louis and Marie Antoinette were not entirely to blame. Their mistakes could’ve easily been altered if only they had the proper guidance. King Louis was inexperienced as a King and was constantly being manipulated, this was not his fault. Marie Antoinette was married as a teen, she was inexperienced and she only knew a life of luxury. Living lavishly was her way of life, she should not be blamed, this was how she was raised.

In my opinion I think they deserved to die because all they cared about was themselves.Living their lives in luxury while The Peasants had to pay terrible taxes and were very poor.They didn't care very much for The Third Estate as long as they got the money they were okay. Even though they both married very young(in their teens) they still should have realized how The Peasants were living and could have tried to lower the taxes.

I think they did because they weren't very considerate or cared at all for the third estate as long as they paid their taxes so they could continue having luxurious lifestyles. They both also lived very lavish lives while they were children. However we must also consider that they both didn't get proper education as it was interrupted by the fact they were forced to marry each other at the age of 14.
