Meeting of the Estates General
The meeting of the estates general happened just before the French Revolution.. Louis XVI owed a lot of money because he lived like a very rich and selfish king. Before the meeting began, the members of the third estate, the commoners, raised the question of how votes would be counted. In all previous meetings each estate was given one vote. The commoners were afraid that the other two estates, nobles and clergy, would gang up on them and vote to raise taxes on the third estate.
The Tennis Court Oath The Tennis Court Oath was when the Third Estate, a group lower than nobles were wrongly taxed when they were already starving. They called for a meeting to talk about it but King Louis XVI felt threatened and closed the doors to the Third Estate. The Third Estate instead, held their own meeting in a Tennis court and started their own government and called it the National Assembly..

The Reign of Terror was a period of Violence where the Third Estate or the common people had really taken power and attacked the nobles to start a completely new government by the people. The leader of these people was Maximilien Robespierre, the leader of the Committee of Public Safety, and also known as the incorruptible, appealed to the commoners and used their anger to rid of all the aristocrats. The commoners executed nobles with the Guillotine, known as the national razor. It was made to be a more sensible killing instrument rather than hanging or torture..
