Question

Does the tennis court oath call for radical action? Why is it considered one of the most important documents of the French Revolution?

Answer 1

Tennis Court Oath "serment du jeu de paume" was a important historical event during the first days of the French Revolution. The Oath was a pledge signed by 576 of the 577 members from the Third Estate, the only member of the Third Estate commitee who didn't sign the oath was Joseph Martin-Dauch. Because the Third Estate was locked out of a meeting of the Estates-General on June 20, 1789 they made a secret conference room inside a tennis court located in the Saint-Louis district of Versailles, near the Palace of Versailles.

On 17 June 1789 this group, led by Honoré Gabriel Riqueti, began to refer to themselves as the National Assembly.On the morning of 20 June, the Third Estate was shocked to discover that the chamber door was locked and guarded by soldiers. Suddenly fearing the worst, and anxious that a royal attack by King Louis XVI was imminent, the deputies congregated in a nearby indoor tennis court where they took a necessary pledge or oath "not to separate, and to reassemble wherever circumstances require, until the constitution of the kingdom is established". It later happened that the most probable reason why the meeting chamber was closed was that the royal household was still in mourning over the death of the king's oldest son who died two weeks earlier; ordinarily, political matters could not be held in place until the King had emerged from mourning. The oath is an important pivotal point in French political history. Other historians have negotiated that giSo if Beethoven was completely deaf, how did he compose?

✌️✌️ hey mate,

➡️The Tennis Court Oath "serment du jeu de paume" was a important historical event during the first days of the French Revolution. The Oath was a pledge signed by 576 of the 577 members from the Third Estate, the only member of the Third Estate commitee who didn't sign the oath was Joseph Martin-Dauch.

➡️Finding themselves locked out of their usual meeting hall at Versailles on June 20 and thinking that the king was forcing them to disband, they moved to a nearby indoor tennis court (salle du jeu de paume). There they took an oath never to separate until a written constitution had been established for France.



thanks...
