Why was the national assembly formed by the people of third estate in french revolution?
Answers
Answer:
The national assembly was formed by the third estate because the people want to raise their voices for the injustice and to end the feudal system and also they want to make their own party for the right of the common people.
The National Assembly was a revolutionary assembly formed out of members of the Third Estate who demanded greater political voice. The National Assembly met in the summer of 1789 with the purpose of developing a new constitution. After they were barred by the king from entering their usual meeting place, they met on tennis court and took the ''Tennis Court Oath'' in which they pledged not to disband until a new constitution had been developed. This decision led directly to the French Revolution as we know it.
By the 1780s, the people of France had grown weary of the monarchy. King Louis XVI was a young king who tended to be out of touch with the needs of the masses. Food shortages and high taxes among the lower classes contributes to growing unrest and ultimately revolution. At this time, the masses were represented in a consultative assembly called the Estates General. They belonged to a part of the assembly called the Third Estate. However, the Third Estate had no real voice because the First Estate was composed of the clergy and the Second Estate was composed of the nobility. These two groups usually united against the Third Estate.
