The challenge is to have Louis XVI (and his advisors) avoid the French Revolution. How could Louis have used his powers as king to avoid the revolution? Should Louis have avoided reinstating the parlements? Would the reform ideas of Turgot (if they had been completely implemented) have solved the economic problems of France? Should Louis have avoided helping the American colonies during the American Revolution? Could (and should) Louis have somehow enacted a charter turning France into a constitutional monarchy?
