The National Assembly of France.
This was illegal according to the laws of the time, but the 3rd Estate was declaring those laws and rules as a system that opposed the will and well-being of the people of France.
The old laws on the books said that when a gathering of the Estates General occurred, each of the three estates met separately and each group had one collective vote (the consensus of the whole group) as their final vote. The 1st Estate (clergy) and 2nd Estate (nobility), representing 2% of the population total, would combine their votes in opposition to the vote of the 3rd Estate (the common people). The 3rd Estate essentially declared that they, 98% of the nation, were the nation and that their delegates thus were the National Assembly.

Congress played a significant role in expanding rights to marginalized Americans during the 20th century. Here are a few examples.
1) 19th amendment- This constitutional amendment gave women in the United States the right to vote.
2) Civil Rights Act 1964- This law ended segregation in public places. This included movie theaters, restaurants, parks, etc.
3) Voting Rights Act of 1965- This law got rid of poll taxes, grandfather clauses, and literacy tests. During the late 19th and early 20th century, all of these were used as a means to prevent African-American citizens from voting. Thanks to the Voting Rights Act of 1965, all of these types of obstacles to stop African-Americans from voting were now illegal.
