Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
Louis XVI, not Louis XV, was guillotined on charges of conspiracy with a foreign power. Even though Louis XVI had ratified the Constitution, he engaged in secret talks with the King of Prussia to overthrow the revolutionaries. The Jacobins organised a large-scale uprising of Parisians in the summer of 1792 who were enraged by the scarcity of food and its high cost. They attacked the Palace of the Tuileries early on August 10 and killed the king's guards before taking the king hostage and holding him there for several hours. The Convention was the name given to the newly chosen assembly. It declared France a republic and ended the monarchy on September 21, 1792. Based on the charge of treason, a court executed Louis XVI. He was publicly executed at the Place de la Concorde on January 21, 1793.
The correct statement would be that Louis XVI was guillotined on charges of conspiracy with a foreign power.
