Louis XVi willed for a meeting of the French Parliament in May 1789, to solve the financial crisis. The third Estate insisted for ***** sitting, which was not agreed to by the first two Estates and the King. The Third Estate, which was in majority, came out of the Parliament and assembled at a tennis court on 20th June 1789 and took an oath that they should not disperse until a constitution for France was framed. This is famous as ‘The Tennis Court Oath’.
