Louis XVI was a very selfish leader who never considered how his actions would affect the poeple under his reign. He used his power to complete his own agenda rather than concerning himself with the problems at hand. He could have been an effective and respectable leader if he had only considered the consequenses of his actions.
I agree with you in terms of his treatment towards the clergy. I felt that he didn't really care much for the clergy as a group, because he never made any focus or decisions to help the clergy or merely acknowledge them.
