Both groups included large numbers of members from the third estate.
When Philip IV of France needed help in his struggle with the pope in 1302, he called together representatives of the nobles, of the clergy, and of the townspeople of France the three estates, or classes in order to gain their aid. Although there had been meetings of similar groups in the preceding ten years, this date may be taken as the first meeting of the Estates-General of France. In the beginning it corresponded roughly to the Parliament of England, which was then less than 50 years old. The French monarchy was more firmly fixed in power by the unfailing succession of the Capetian line, and the Estates-General never gained the right to make laws as the English Parliament did. During the Hundred Years' War, from 1337 to 1453, the Estates-General could frequently force the king to do as it wished by refusing him money to carry on the struggle, but it sometimes lost public respect by favoring civil strife or by allying itself with the English invaders. In 1439, near the close of the war, it granted a land tax, the taille, from which the nobles were exempted. Since there was no opposition when the king chose to consider such grants to be permanent, the king became independent. He had plenty of revenue, he had a standing army, he dominated the clergy and dispensed favors to the nobles, and so had little need of the Estates-General. For 174 years, beginning in 1614, the representatives of the three estates were not summoned to consider the affairs of the kingdom. In 1788, however, the treasury was empty, and Louis XVI was forced to call this almost forgotten body together again. When it met on May 5, 1789, the representatives of the third estate, equal in numbers to the other two, refused to vote according to the old method by which each estate cast one vote. They insisted on voting as individuals and declared themselves the National Assembly. On June 20, 1789, they took the famous "Tennis Court" oath not to disperse until they had given France a constitution. This bold attitude showed clearly that a revolution was at hand (see French Revolution). The name estates-general was not uncommon in medieval Europe. In Spain there were four estates, or classes, in the assembly. In The Netherlands the name States-General is still applied to the legislative body of that kingdom. It is composed of two houses the upper, elected by the provincial assemblies, and the lower, chosen by the people. Excerpted from Compton's Interactive Encyclopedia (1996).

The term "estates" is most frequently applied to the class distinctions of the kingdom of France, beginning in the Middle Ages. Similar stratification occurred during the histories of Sweden and Finland.
The New York State Assembly is similar to the lower house of the legislative branch in other states, such as the State House of Representatives. It is responsible for creating and passing laws, as well as representing and advocating for the interests of their constituents.
Slaves organized into something that was similar to an assembly line. They did this long before the assembly lines were used to create vehicles.
No, the national constitution of 1791 did not abolish the monarchy. It established a constitutional monarchy in France, limiting the powers of the king and granting significant power to the Legislative Assembly. However, the events of the French Revolution eventually led to the abolition of the monarchy in 1792.
