Explain the effect versailles would have had on a visitor from another country and the impression it would have given of louis xiv.

Since Louis XIV built Versailles in order to keep his noblemen and his officers, as well as the aristocracy, under his control, it would have projected an image of his absolutism, that is to say, of his complete and absolute power over all his French subjects. This was emphasized through the opulent and symbolic decoration - its gardens and fountains, its Grand Gallery, its apartments, its silver furniture, and its various allegorical paintings and statues, among other elements.  

Versailles was also meant to cause astonishment among the monarchs and ambassadors who visited the King there, and who returned to their countries with a strong and firm desire to emulate it. A visitor to Versailles would have certainly been stunned at the sight and the experience of this superb space.

the reform movements that arose during the antebellum period in america focused on specific issues: temperance, abolishing imprisonment for debt, pacifism, antislavery, abolishing capital punishment, amelioration of prison conditions (with prison's purpose reconceived as rehabilitation rather than punishment), the humane treatment of animals, the humane and just treatment of native americans, the establishment of public institutions for the care of the destitute, orphans, blind, and mentally ill, the establishment of public schools, the abolition of tobacco use, vegetarianism, health reform, homeopathic medicine, woman's rights (including, at first, especially the establishment of a woman's right to own property apart from her husband and her right to sue for divorce), and the amelioration of labor conditions (including higher pay, the right to form unions, the right to strike, and the demand for limits on the number of work hours, and safe working conditions).
