 -Turgot tried to minimise the expenditure of the royal court. He also advised the king to impose taxes on every classes of the society.

-The First Estate in France, or the clergy, owned 10% of the land though it comprised less than 0.5% of the population. It was very wealthy and paid no taxes. It had many privileges, including the collection of tithes. 

-One major economic problem the French government confronted was a crippling national debt. This was the result of massive spending on the administration of the royal bureaucracy, the financial burden of supporting the royal court at Versailles, and especially military spending, much of which had been expended on French participation in the American Revolutionary War.
