Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The Third Estate formed the National Assembly because they realized that the other two estates, the nobles and the clergy, would combine interests in the Estates General to vote that the Third Estate should shoulder the greatest tax burden for Louis XVI’s new taxes.
Detailed explanation-2: -During the French Revolution, the National Assembly (French: Assemblée nationale), which existed from 17 June 1789 to 29 September 1791, was a revolutionary assembly of the Kingdom of France formed by the representatives of the Third Estate (commoners) of the Estates-General.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Third Estate Declares the National Assembly On June 13, 1789, the Third Estate declared itself the “National Assembly.” They would begin making their own laws and running the country.
Detailed explanation-4: -King Louis XVI, aware of the injustices of the French tax policy, tried to reform the tax code to make it more fair, but was repeatedly thwarted by the overrepresented nobles and clergy. This angered the Third Estate, which refused to vote in the Estates General, and formed instead the National Assembly.
