Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI did not implement significant changes in government during their reign. Louis XVI attempted to reform the financial system and called the Estates-General in 1789 to address fiscal crises, but these efforts ultimately failed and contributed to the outbreak of the French Revolution. Their inability to adapt to the changing political landscape and address the needs of the populace led to widespread discontent and their eventual downfall. Instead of making reforms, they were seen as symbols of the monarchy's excess and disconnect from the common people.
