The Estates-General of 1789 was a general assembly between representatives of the three French estates: the clergy (First Estate), the nobility (Second Estate), and the commoners (Third Estate). Called by King Louis XVI, the 1789 assembly marked the first time the Estates-General was gathered since 1614.[1]
The meeting was enacted to discuss the economic crisis of France, partially caused by the nation's intervention in the American Revolutionary War. Moreover, the French people were starving due to the Little Ice Age's destruction of crops, which was further exacerbated by the underlying schemes of the Templar Order. From May to June, the Estates-General convened numerous times, but failed to reach a consensus during each gathering.[2]
Thus, on 17 June 1789, a revolutionary National Assembly was formed by the Third Estate to counteract the problem. The king attempted to limit their actions and closed the Salle des États meeting room, which proved ineffective as the National Assembly took their oath on an indoor tennis court on 20 June. Their actions received support from French cities and, by 27 June, the military arrived in Paris and Versailles by the order of King Louis.[3]
