Explanation:
[STC0018109]. In the 1780s, trouble was brewing in France. The United States had just been established, a substantial portion of the French population was becoming hungry, and the feudal economic order in Europe was slipping away. The Estates-General, a sort of representative body, convened for the first time in more than a century following some unrest and some unsuccessful reform initiatives. The French Catholic clergy (First Estate) and the nobles (Second Estate) made up the first two ‘estates’ inside the Estates-General, each with one vote; the Third Estate, meanwhile, essentially represented everyone else. The king’s allies swiftly locked the Third Estate out of their meeting space when it made the case that each representative, not each estate, should have a vote because it had the most representatives. The Third Estate members were forced to use the king’s indoor tennis court because their normal location was unavailable. There, they took a pledge to remain gathered until France had a new constitution. Parisians stormed the Bastille to start the French Revolution after Louis XVI refused to back down.
