The Estates General was called in 1789 largely due to the financial crisis in France, exacerbated by heavy national debt, poor harvests, and widespread discontent among the populace. King Louis XVI sought to address the fiscal challenges and proposed reforms, but he required the consent of the Estates General, which had not convened since 1614. The assembly brought together representatives from the three estates: clergy, nobility, and commoners, leading to a power struggle that ultimately sparked the French Revolution. By 1790, the calling of the Estates General resulted in the formation of the National Assembly and the assertion of the Third Estate's demands for political reform and greater representation.

What was the meeting of the Estates General about?
The Meeting of the Estates General I assume you are referring to the one that occurred just before the French Revolution. Louis XVI had gotten into massive debt due to his excessive lifestyle and funding of the American Revolution and needed to raise a lot of money. Before the meeting began, the members of the third estate, the commoners, raised the question of how votes would be counted. In all previous meetings each estate was given one vote. The commoners were afraid that the other two estates, nobles and clergy, would gang up on them and vote to raise taxes on the third estate. Traditionally, the clergy and nobles were tax exempt. It was finally decided that each person attending the Estates General were to be given one vote. This worked to the advantage of the third estate which had the largest delegation. In 1790 they expropriated the church's land. In 1791 they drafted the Civil Constitution. In 1792 France officially became a republic. In 1793 Louis XVI was executed for treason.
