		Later in the same year Necker was dismissed by Louis XVI, king of France, partly because the king disapproved of his Protestantism and partly because Necker had angered Queen Marie-Antoinette by preventing her from carrying out certain extravagances through his insistence on retrenchment of the economy.
		The adoption of various radical proposals by that body caused Louis XVI to dismiss Necker again; this act was the immediate cause of the storming of the Bastille by the aroused populace of Paris on July 14, 1789.
