Formed so that the issues over the estates general could be resolved. -the third estate wanted some real power because they made up most of the population(96%) -the third estate wanted voting by head and not by order -the third estate refused to justify the documentation until the issue of voting was resolved -the third estate mainly formed the national assembly because Louis XVI treated them poorly and they wanted to get the power they deserved

The third estate formed the national assembly because there was unfair voting procedures. -they wanted voting by head and not by order because they felt uncomfortable with it

May 5: The government opens the estates general May 6: Debate over voting procedures June 13: The first clergyman joined the 3 rd estate June 17: The newly formed National Assembly stated that voting should be done by order June 24: Most of the clergy decided to join the National Assembly

Was the result of the growing discontent of the third estate in France of the King Louis XVI’s desire to stay with the countries history of absolute government. - the oath was to never be disperse until France had a new constitution - the new constitution of 1791 meant the tennis court oath was upheld
