I think the problem with Louis XVI was that he was too liberal at times, and too sensitive towards the people at times when a firm hand was necessary to maintain order. For example, the maintaining of French troops in 1788 to enforce the destruction of the parlements could have been the herald of a peaceful, bureaucratic revolution. But in any case, I think that almost all of the results achieved by the revolution would have been lauded by Louis had he been able to observe the situation objectively. Everything that was done at the expense of the aristocracy was supported by the monarchy. It was originally the monarchy that supported the Third Estate over the other two, interestingly enough.
