Monsieur Lomenie de Brienne was the finance minister of Louis XVI at the time. He wanted to introduce a series of economizations, but the notables did not approve of his plans. He begged the King to take a stand, but Louis XVI hesitated. La Fayette was the one that advised Louis XVI to call for the Estates General. Eventually, Louis XVI took this advice, but realized that this was a very serious blow to the monarchy. Though he was forced to, because if he would have objected to summon them, the whole country would have been in a huge uprising.
The bourgeoisie believed the only way to overthrow the monarchy was to summon the Estates General. They were right.
He was afraid of the Third Estate because it was so big :)
<<< Also, he was very easily persuaded .

The legislative branch. Although at the time, the Estates General was mostly convened to discuss and agree on expenditure and taxes.
When Louis XVI had to convoke the Estates General, the third estate (the bourgeoisie) ordered to double their numbers in the Estates General, because the majority of France existed of Bourgeoisie. The others 2 estates (the nobility and the clergy) did not agree with this, but the King gave in to the third estate. When the Estates General met, they had on one occasion locked out the third estates members. The third estate members went to a nearby tennis court at Versailles and swore they would not dissemble until a constitution for France would be drawn up and accepted. Together with the storming of the Bastille (3 weeks later) this was significant for the beginning of the French Revolution.

never researched it but Louis's giving off strong 5"6 vibes a mon avis
He agrees to lead the men if the general dies.
In 1789, to avert the deepening crisis, Louis agreed to summon the Estates-General (a form of parliament, but without real power) in order to try and raise taxes. This was the first time the body had met since 1614. Angered by Louis' refusal to allow the three Estates - the First (clergy), Second (nobles) and Third (commons) - to meet simultaneously, the Third Estate proclaimed itself a National Assembly, declaring that only they had the right to represent the nation. Rumours that the king intended to suppress the assembly provoked the storming of the Bastille prison, a symbol of repressive royal power, on 14 July 1789.

The large public debt and the unfair tax code which gave the nobles and the Catholic Church tax free status coupled with a government that was not representative or responsive to the majority of the population.
There were several events that led to the French Revolution. The biggest cause was the poor and horrible living conditions of the people of France while the King and his wife lived a very lavish lifestyle.
they would agree with government hahaha
yes
yes
The Tennis Court Oath was a result of the growing discontent of the Third Estate in France in the face of King Louis XVI's desire to hold onto the country'sThe Tennis Court Oath was a pledge signed by all but one of the members of France's Third Estate, on June 20, 1789, after they had been locked out of a meeting of the Estates General. This group had formed the National Assembly three days earlier on June 17, 1789.
Their dislike for King Louis Phillipe
