Tennis Court Of Oath
June of 1789, the third estate felt so unimportant, they decided to have their own meeting and found themselves meeting at a tennis court in Versailles because of this mistreatment. They broke off from the General Estates meeting and claimed to be the voice and head of the people of France later known as the National Assembly. The commoners were joined by clergy who wanted what's best for the people and by this they were to write a new constitution for France. Each individual pledged, or made a sword promise known as the “Tennis Court of Oath” to meet wherever and whenever to establish a proper constitution for France. In 1791 the third estate was finally rewarded because their constitution of 1791 was accepted in office.
