On this day , King Louis XVI called the meeting of estate general. He made represented a proposal to them to increase the taxes and they were asked to vote for this. The 1 and 2 estate had 300 members each but 3 estate had 600 members. So they demanded 1 person 1 vote each but this demand was rejected by the king . So they moved outside the meeting and started protesting against it.
