Two effects of the lack of representation of the Third Estate in the Estates-General:

  • separation of the third estate from the Estates-General
  • formation of the first National Assembly

Context/explanation:

Under the old, existing rules for the Estates-General, each Estate got one vote in the overall decisions of the Estates General.  The 1st Estate (clergy) would get 1 vote, the 2nd Estate (nobility) would get 1 vote, and the 3rd Estate (all others, commoners), would get 1 vote.  So even if the 3rd Estate were granted a greater number of overall delegates, in the end it wouldn't matter. The clergy and nobility would collude with one another to maintain their hold on power.  The members of the 3rd Estate, though they were 98% of the population, thus would get outvoted.

King Louis XVI was forced to convene the Estates-General in 1789 because his government was facing potential bankruptcy of finances.  In the build-up to the meeting of the Estates-General, the 3rd-Estate demanded that their representation be doubled.  That request was granted, with the king and nobles and clergy knowing that the system would still favor the first two Estates.  But the 3rd Estate delegates at the Estates General in 1789 demanded that voting be by head count of all delegates, rather than just one collective vote per house.  That way the 3rd Estate would have enough delegate votes to sway decisions.   That request was opposed by the king and the first two Estates.   So the 3rd Estate separated itself from the rest of the Estates-General and declared itself to be the National Assembly, because it represented the vast majority (98%) of the nation's people.  And thus the French Revolution began.

well china built a wall to keep the The bads guys out the Mongolia but that did not work out they went over it. and sorry but one of the kings died and wear they buried him their out of clay

hears what i got better explainatoin

Buried deep under a hill in central China, surrounded by an underground moat of poisonous mercury, lies an entombed emperor who's been undisturbed for more than two millennia.

The tomb holds the secrets of China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, who died on Sept. 10, 210 B.C., after conquering six warring states to create the first unified nation of China.

The answers to a number of historical mysteries may lie buried inside that tomb, but whether modern people will ever see inside this mausoleum depends not just on the Chinese government, but on science.
