Question

7. Why was the 3rd estate upset about the Estates-

Answer 1

Answer:

The voting system in the assembly.

Explanation:

The 3rd Estate comprised of deputies who represented the lower clergy and commoners in France's Estates General assembly. The 3rd Estate was upset about the voting system in the assembly.

The voting system of the Estates General assembly was a disadvantage for them because each Estate would get one vote for each estate under them. The First and Second Estates owned a lot of estates under them so they had greater power in this voting system.

The response of this problem led to the 3rd Estate declaring itself as the "National Assembly". The members of the 3rd Estates took an oath to bring the king under law.

Answer 2

Answer:

The 3rd estate upset about the Estates-General because they not treated as fair as the other two estates.

Explanation:    

In an attempt to address the economic crisis, Louis XVI of France called the Estates-General, represented the three estates including the nobles, the clergy, and the commons.

The voting procedure in the Estates-General required each estate to vote as a body, where the members of the Third Estate did not support it. The reason for disagreement happened because they found themselves defeated by the other two estates. They wanted the vote to be based on the number of members.

On June 20, 1789, the commons in the Estates-General found themselves out of their assemblage place and saw it as a plot by the King to break them. The members relocated their meeting at a tennis court declared themselves as National Assembly and signed an affirmation to maintain attending until the new constitution for France written. The Tennis Court Oath was a promise that showed power came from people and not from the monarchy.
