Question

Why did members of the Third Estate form the National Assembly?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B. They could not participate in the existing French legislature.

The National Assembly in France during the Revolution was formed on June 13, 1789 by deputies of the third estate, as until then the government has consciously done everything to highlight its underestimation of the third estate.

A party was organized in the court for the deputies of the first and second class, and the deputies of the third class addressed the privileged with a proposal to form a joint commission to certify the powers of all deputies. Their proposal was rejected and the privileged formed the commission themselves, so the deputies of the third class declared themselves the National Assembly.
