Detailed explanation-1: -The members of the French Estates General began to call themselves as The National Assembly from 20th June 1789. The oath they took was: “not to separate, and to reassemble wherever circumstances require until the constitution of the Kingdom is established."
Detailed explanation-2: -The Third Estate, which had the most representatives, declared itself the National Assembly and took an oath to force a new constitution on the king.
Detailed explanation-3: -Finding themselves locked out of their usual meeting hall at Versailles on June 20 and thinking that the king was forcing them to disband, they moved to a nearby indoor tennis court (salle du jeu de paume). There they took an oath never to separate until a written constitution had been established for France.
