The Third Estate
Changes in the rights of the Second Estate as a result of the National Assembly included the abolition of feudalism. This in turn took away the seigneurial rights of the Second Estate.
The National Assembly was formed mostly by members of the third estate, while the Estates General consisted of the first, second, and third estates.
Originally, at a tennis court at Versailles. The National Assembly consisted of the members of the third estate, who were one day locked out of a Estate General meeting by the first and second estate members. They were angry, and went to a nearby tennis court at the palace where they swore an oath that they would not disband until a constitution was formed. They also took up a new name for themselves: The National Assembly.
