Detailed explanation-1: -After Louis XVI’s failed attempts to sabotage the Assembly and to keep the three estates separate, the Estates-General ceased to exist, becoming the National Assembly. It renamed itself the National Constituent Assembly on July 9 and began to function as a governing body and constitution-drafter.
Detailed explanation-2: -The National Assembly was the new government set up by the French Revolution in the summer of 1789. In the next few years, the deputies debated a new constitution for France, including its colonial empire.
Detailed explanation-3: -Louis was officially arrested on August 13, 1792 and sent to the Temple, an ancient Paris fortress used as a prison. On 21 September, the National Assembly declared France to be a republic and abolished the monarchy.
Detailed explanation-4: -On 17 June 1789, one month after the Estates-General met at Versailles, the members of the third estate declared themselves to be the ‘National Assembly’, since they represented at least 96% of the nation.
