Detailed explanation-1: -The Third Estate was frustrated at the Estates General meeting in 1789 because that Estate represented the interests of the common people, and these were at odds with the interests of the elites of the First and Second Estates.
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: -Regardless of their property and wealth, members of the Third Estate were subject to inequitable taxation and were politically disregarded by the Ancien Régime. This exclusion contributed to rising revolutionary sentiment in the late 1780s.
