The monarchy could have been reduced to a Constitutional Monarchy instead of becoming a Republic!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

A good book to reference for this would be "The Journey" by Antonia Fraser!. Marie Antionette had her faults, but she may have been just a scapegoat!.
As far as benefits, that depends on if she was deposed or had remained Queen!. I can't think of any benefits for either except that she'd have lived longer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Cuz executing her would be like executing President Bush for being a bad president b/c both were as unpopular as each otherWww@QuestionHome@Com
