The third estate forms a National Assembly!
Third Estate separates from the Estates General to form a National assembly.
Yesterday, in Paris, the king Louis XVI called a meeting of the Estates General. The Third Estate asked for a new voting system, but the rest of the Estates didn´t approve it, so the Third Estate has formed a National Assembly.
They dropped out because it wanted a constitution and a new voting system where the voting was “by head” and not “by power”, because of this voting system, their double representation was meaningless.
The National Assembly had to meet somewhere although the king didn´t let them to do that. Therefore, they met at the Tennis Court Oath illegally. They had a motto, which said: “Never to separate and to meet wherever circumstances demand, until the constitution had been written, despite the royal prohibition”.
Meantime, people are generating problems to the king so Louis has surrounded Versailles with troops and dismissed Jacques Necker( a popular minister of state who supports these reforms) in order to take control of the situation.
