Tennis Court Oath

To summarize in other words:

In summary, everyone was suffering from the lack of resources to survive. Louis having the grasp of the situation calls for the Estate General because he did not have a legislative or executive bodies. For the vote, the first second and third estate is involved. However the first and second estate that takes up 3% of the population which would be against taxation for them. Hence, because of the unfair voting, the third estate comes together to speak of a reform.

-The third estate deputies were locked out of the Versaille by King Louis because he disagreed with the voting system of the third estate, that was 97% of the population to take power. Therefore they come together in an indoor tennis court.

  • The third esate finds that whatever they vote for, they would all be outvoted because of the vote of the nobility and the clergy.
  • The third estate comes together in a tennis court, and made a group called the national assembly.
  • They agreed to not leave this group until the constitution is reformed.
  • In a sense of unity, King Louis XVI made the nobility and clergy to the join the third estate's national assembly.

-The significance of this event was the public appearance of being against the monarch.

  • This meeting was to unite people together with a similiar worldview and conscious of a better nation that included sovereignty.
