Meeting Of the Estates General Notes:
Belief: Authority started with the people instead of a monarchy.
• First time the French people stood against the King for what they believed in.
• This forced to King to see to it that voting was based of the number of people and not order in society.
• This inspired future riots and protests to come and called a new constitution into action.
• This revolution started because the third estate was dissatisfied with the absolute monarchy in which the king wanted to rule with.
• They would meet to discuss the reforms prime minister, Jacques Necker, had in mind.
These meetings included all of the Estates.
Their meeting place was a hall called the Menus Plaisirs.
• When they arrived, they found it locked.
• They saw this as a blatant attempt of the king to put an end to their reforms.
First Estate consisted of about 10,000
40,000 consisted of about 40,000
• 25,000 consisted of about 25 million
Unlike the First and Second Estate, the Third Estate was taxed heavily.
Since the number of representatives were unequal, the third estate demanded double representation.
• Their sole purpose was to change the nation’s structure instead of just their taxes.
• An Oath signed by about 576 out of 577members.
• Joseph Martin-Dauch was the only one not to take the oath.
• Reason-they were locked out of a meeting of the Estates General on june 20 1789.
• Which was held in a tennis court.
• This became known as the National Assembly on June 17, 1789.
• Led by Honoré Gabriel Riqueti.
• Here they took an oath to meet until a constitution was written.
