In 1789, Louis XVI called for a meeting to discuss France's financial and political state.
Louis XVI was forced to raise taxes due to France's poor financial condition. The monarch did not have the sole authority to impose tariffs on France during the Old Regime.

To accommodate the delegates, Versailles erected a magnificent hall.
