what was the system of voting in the estates general ? what change did the third estates want in this system?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Voting in the estate general had been conducted according to the principle that each estate had one vote.

But members of the third estate demanded that voting now be conducted by the assembly as a whole,where each member would have one vote.

This was one of the democratic principles put forward by Rousseau in his book 'the social contract'.

When the king rejected this proposal,members of the 3rd estate walked out in protest.
