Open in App
Solution

The representatives of the third estate viewed themselves as spokesmen for the whole French nation. They assembled in the hall of an indoor tennis court in the grounds of Versailles. They declared themselves a National Assembly and swore not to disperse till they had drafted a constitution for France that would limit the powers of the monarch. They took the oath raising their arms in the direction of Bailly, the President of the Assembly, standing on a table in the centre.
