Answer 2

Answer:

Assertion is correct but reasoning is wrong.

Explanation:

• In France under the Ancien Regime, the Estate Generale or State Generale was the legislative and advisory body for the various classes (or estates) of French subjects that developed corporate representation in the 13th century.
• The first National Assembly of representatives of the three fiefdoms met at Notre Dame in Paris  to discuss the conflict between Philip IV (Handsome) and Pope Boniface VIII. Parliament supported the king, and a national poll was conducted after the meeting. In 1308, three fiefs were brought together at Tours to consider the suppression of the Templars, and in the following years, especially after the death of Louis X in 1316, when questions of succession and taxes dominated the agenda. They were called repeatedly. In 1320, the estates met at Pontoise and Poitiers and refused to grant Philip V a subsidy to replenish the treasury.
