    Louis XIV took several steps to increase the power of the French Monarchy. Firstly he to reduce the influence of nobility and increase the power of the monarchy in France. Louis XIV requested all the nobles to live with him in place of Versailles so he could keep an eye on them so that they wouldn't have more power than him. Secondly, Louis XIV placed taxes on both imported and exported goods to collect more money for France. His action laid the groundwork for french revolution because of staggering debts as well as royal abuse of power by the king.
