Cahier of the Third Estate of Dourdan The Cahier of the Third Estate of Dourdan was a list of things that the Third Estate in France wanted.

They also wanted to have the same amount of votes that both the Clergy and Nobles together because when they voted on something the Clergy and Nobles would just team up and out vote the Third Estate even though the Third Estate was the majority of people.
The Largest issue addressed by the Cahier of the Third Estate of Dourdan was that they needed to be equal with both of the other two classes. They needed two times the votes they had just to be able to the same amount of votes that the Clergy and Nobles had. And every time they had to vote on something the Clergy and Nobles would vote for the same thing and the Third Estate would not really have a say in anything. They also wanted for every delegate to have a vote not just one vote per house because then the Third Estate would still be outvoted by the Clergy and Nobles. Another issue that was addressed in the Cahiers of the Third Estate of Dourdan was finances. Before the Cahiers the Third estate was the only class that payed taxes and they were the poorest of the three classes.
