Why did the Third-estate propose a change in the Estate's-general's voting rules?
The system was that each estate took its own poll on a one-man-one-vote basis; the majority in each estate decided how that Estate should vote; and the final voting was by Estates. On tax questions, the Third Estate was bound to be outnumbered two to one, despiteits memebrs being far more numerous than those of the other two. Naturally, threfore, they wanted a single one-man-one-vote arrangement.
How had the first and second estates traditionally dominated the estates general?
By voting together. Senior clergy (Bishops and Abbots) were appointed by the King, and mostly of the nobility. They naturally voted with the nobility, giving them a two-to-one majority over the Third Estate; voting was not by head (the Third Estate was far more numerous) but by Estate.
Why was it that the Estates-General really did not help out the third class?
The trouble was the voting system. There were, of course, far more paople in the Third Estate, and it had far more delegates; but voting was not by head but by estates - so the other two could always outvote the Third.
Why was the third estate locked out of the estate general?
The members of the Third Estate were arguing about the process for the Estates-General. The king's ministers had intended that the three estates meet and vote separately, with each estate having one vote. Instead, the Third Estate insisted that the three estates meet as one body, and that voting be by head so that each person have one vote (the Third Estate had as many members as the other two estates combined). When the deadlock over procedure could not be resolved, the members of the Third Estate declared themselves to be the only legitimate representative body, and renamed themselves the "National Assembly". They then vowed never to disband until they had written a constitution for France. They did this on 20 June 1789. The Third Estate invited the members of the other two estates to join them as part of the National Assembly, which they eventually did.
