Detailed explanation-1: -The king said that each estate would vote as a body (each estate would get 1 vote). They wanted the vote to be based on the number of members. The Third Estate Declares the National Assembly. After arguing over how they would vote for several days, the Third Estate began to take matters into their own hands.

Detailed explanation-2: -It was the last of the Estates General of the Kingdom of France. Summoned by King Louis XVI, the Estates General of 1789 ended when the Third Estate formed the National Assembly and, against the wishes of the King, invited the other two estates to join. This signaled the outbreak of the French Revolution.

Detailed explanation-3: -The people of the Third Estate revolted and put the French Revolution into action because after King Louis 16th called the Estates General for the purpose of raising taxes, the First and Second Estates (that is, the nobility and the clergy) voted together to levy the new taxes on the common people of the Third Estate.

Detailed explanation-4: -Historians believe that one of the reasons the French Revolution came about was the disatisfaction of members of the Third Estate, who wanted a more equal distribution of wealth and power.

Detailed explanation-5: -This assembly was composed of three estates – the clergy, nobility and commoners – who had the power to decide on the levying of new taxes and to undertake reforms in the country. The opening of the Estates General, on 5 May 1789 in Versailles, also marked the start of the French Revolution.
