Why the Constitutional Monarchy failed
- King wasn't trusted
- The king tried to appear open minded but behind the scenes he is
contacting prussia and austria to enlist help in trying to secure his power
- bourgeois was satisfied to leave well enough alone but
the sansculotte were not satisfied and rioting ensues
- king attempts to flee to varennes
- growing fears that the king cannot be trusted, that he wants to hold on to old ways
- the people knew that Louis wouldn't be able to truly share power in the way that they now wanted.
