	Necker was born in Switzerland, becoming an advocate of [[Age of Enlightenment\|Enlightenment]] ideas. In 1776, Louis XVI appointed him Director General of the Treasury, then of Finance.

	In 1788, Necker was called back to resolve France's financial crisis, and the populace saw him as a voice of reason. Knowing that taxes were lower under him, the starving masses lauded him as the savior of France. It was Necker who advised ~~the King~~ to summon the [[Estates-General of 1789]]. When this failed to solve ~~the King~~'s problems, Necker was dismissed on 11 July, in large part due to the influence of [[Marie Antoinette]]. This sparked rumors that the ~~King~~ intended to attack [[Paris]] or arrest ~~the deputies of~~ the Estates-General, and prompted [[Camille Desmoulins]] to start an uprising at the [[Palais-Royal]], leading indirectly to the [[Storming of the Bastille]].<ref name="Database" />		In 1788, Necker was called back to resolve France's financial crisis, and the populace saw him as a voice of reason.
