Question

Give reasons as to why was the National Assembly formed by the people of the third estate.

Answer 1

Dear student,

• The National assembly was formed by the people of the third estate because they wanted to raise their voices for discrimination, to end the system of feudalism and to form their own party for their rights.
• Although the association was organised without the acquiescence of the monarch, it connected itself with the interests of the King. Hence, all the regulations promulgated by the assembly were subjected to the royal endorsement of the king.
• Initially, association claimed the prior taxes to be unconstitutional and consequently, encouraged the people to advance a new system of taxation.
