Answer:
c. to give the people a voice
Explanation:
The last time the Estates-General had been called was 1614. Monarchical absolutism had precluded the functioning of this institution. But the situation in France had seriously deteriorated in the 1780s. There was no parliament, so for many social sectors, this was a chance to express criticism. Hard measures had to be taken to tackle the difficulties accumulating and king Louis XVI was trying to get support for implementing those new policies.
