Louis XIV - commoner

I disagree with Louis XIV and the way he rules his monarchy. He is a selfish leader, believing that his ideas of a divine right monarchy should benefit himself and his court, not caring enough about the social classes. I feel as if he takes advantage as being a ruler and does not put his great power to good work. He has no sympathy for us, knowing that we are the lower class in society and are not near as fortunate as others. He realizes that he has all authority and is in complete control. This reflects on his decisions, only caring for himself and the overall government, and forgetting about us who only become poorer and poorer. The economy is making us townspeople suffer and it puts us in danger everyday- due to his poor, unjust decisions that affect all people.
