Outbreak of Revolution
The circumstances leading to outbreak of revolutionary protest in France
Assembly of the Estates General
Louis XVI called for an assembly of the Estates General on 5th May, 1789 to pass the proposal for new taxes. In Versailles, an attractive and impressive hall was prepared to host the delegates. The first and second estates sent 300 representatives each, who were seated in rows facing each other on two sides. The 600 members of the third estate had to stand at the back. The third estate was represented by its more prosperous and educated members. Peasants, artisans and women were denied entry to the assembly but they sent their demands and grievances through representatives. These were listed in some 40000 letters.
Demand for Voting in Democratic Way
In earlier voting system of Estates General, each estate had one vote. This time also, Louis XVI wanted to continue the same system. But the members of third estate demanded that voting should be conducted by taking assembly as a whole. They demand that each member should have one vote but this proposal was rejected by the king. This idea was supported by Rousseau in his book ‘The Social Contract’. After the rejection of this proposal the members of third estate walked out of assembly in protest.
National Assembly of Third Estate
On 20th June, the representatives of the third estate assembled in the hall of an indoor tennis court in Versailles. They declared themselves a National Assembly. They also swore to draft a new Constitution for France that would limit the powers of the monarch. The representatives of the third estate were led by Mirabeau and Abbé Sieyès. Mirabeau was born in a noble family, but discarded his feudal privileges. Mirabeau brought out a journal and delivered powerful speeches to the crowd to inspire them at Versailles. Abbé Sieyes was originally a priest. He wrote an influential pamphlet called ‘What is the Third Estate?’
