The National Assembly was formed mostly by members of the third estate, while the Estates General consisted of the first, second, and third estates.
The National Assembly was formed by the representatives of the Third Estate of the Estates General. After the French Revolution the National Assembly became known as the National Constituent Assembly.
The French Estates - General consisted of representatives of three estates: 1) Clergy 2) Nobility 3) The commoners. The third estate included all the professional, commercial and middle-class groups of the country.
By calling the Estates-General Louis the XIV would be at a disadvantage because it would give more power to the 1st Estate and the 2nd Estate. He would be losing power and he had no reason to call on the Estates-General. Louis the XVIII had to call on the Estates-General because the country was about to go bankrupt and he had no other choice but to call on the Estates-General and ask them for a loan.
