1. The \( \text{He proposed taxing the nobles and clergy} \) is linked to \( \text{f. Jacques Necker} \). Necker, a financial advisor to King Louis XVI, suggested changes to address France's crippling debt, which included proposals that were quite radical for the time—taxing those who traditionally held power. This was met with resistance, but it laid the groundwork for the financial turmoil that contributed to the French Revolution. 2. The \( \text{a notebook listing grievances} \) corresponds to \( \text{h. cahier} \). These cahiers were compiled by the three estates before the Estates-General meeting in 1789 and contained complaints about the state of France. They included issues ranging from economic hardships to calls for political reforms, illustrating the tension that had built up within French society and eventually sparking revolutionary fervor.
