On June 17, emboldened by the joining of some of the nobility and the clergy, the Third Estate declared itself the National Assembly of France, imploring the remainder of the Estates-General to join the Assembly but also vowing to do the business of France with or without them.
While the National Assembly formed without the king's permission, the Assembly considered itself to be acting in the king's interests and originally they declared all their laws subject to royal approval. Among the laws the Assembly enacted in these first days were acts claiming the prior taxation laws to be illegal and making promises to institute new, fairer legislation, though in order to pay French debt they kept the old tax laws in place until something better could be devised.

hey....
Why- In 1789, Louis XVI, King of France, called for the constitution of Estates-General. Basically, this was an assembly made out of representatives from each of the three major orders of the French society (the nobles, the clergy, and the rest), formed only in times of crisis.
The representatives of the three orders disagreed on the decision system: nobles and the clergy wanted to vote by order, which would have given them the control of the Estates-General; the Commons, being numerically the largest group, and representing the widest part of the population, wanted votes to be counted on the number of representatives.
Both groups clashed, and finally, the Commons formed their own assembly, which would become the National Assembly. They were joined by progressists from the two remaining orders and, during an historical event known as the Tennis Court Oath, they decided to keep working until they finished writing a Constitution for the country.
