A poor economic situation and an unmanageable national debt, both caused and exacerbated by the burden of a grossly inequitable system of taxation, the massive spending of Louis XVI and the many wars of the 18th century
High unemployment and high bread prices causing more money to be spent on food and less in other areas of the economy
Food scarcity in the months immediately before the revolution
On the other hand, there were social and political factors, many of them involving resentments and aspirations given focus by the rise of Enlightenment ideals:

Resentment of royal absolutism
A resentment of noble privilege and dominance in public life by the ambitious professional classes
Resentment of manorialism (seigneurialism) by peasants, wage-earners, and, to a lesser extent, the bourgeoisie
Resentment of clerical privilege (anti-clericalism) and aspirations for freedom of religion
Aspirations for liberty and (especially as the revolution progressed) republicanism
Finally, perhaps above all, was the almost total failure of Louis XVI to deal effectively with any of these problems.

Do your homework instead of waiting for the day before you go back.
