Answer 1

Answer 2

"Let them eat cake" is a famous misquote attributed to Marie Antoinette, the Queen of France during the French Revolution. However, there is no concrete evidence that she ever said these words. The quote has since become a symbol of the extravagance and indifference of the French aristocracy toward the suffering of the common people during that time. It continues to be used as a phrase associated with ignorance and lack of empathy for those in difficult circumstances.
