The Third Estate declared itself the National Assembly in 1789 in response to their exclusion from the Estates-General's voting procedures, which favored the First and Second Estates. Frustrated by their lack of representation and the inability to address grievances effectively, they sought to assert their legitimacy as representatives of the French populace. This declaration marked a pivotal moment in the French Revolution, as it aimed to establish a more equitable political system and lay the groundwork for a constitutional government. Their action signified a shift towards popular sovereignty and the assertion of the rights of the common people.
What else can I help you with?

What is the origins of the term fifth estate?
The term Fifth Estate is any class or group in society other than the clergy (First Estate), the nobility (Second Estate), the commoners (Third Estate), and the press (Fourth Estate). It has been used to describe trade unions, the poor and organized crime. It can also be used to describe media that sees itself in opposition to mainstream (Fourth Estate) media. The term is different in origins and meaning from 'Fifth Column,' used to describe subversive or insurgent elements in a society. It's origins probably comes from the French Estates-General. And for all you bloggers out there, Media researcher Stephen D. Cooper argues that bloggers are the Fifth Estate.

In what three ways does the constitution deny powers to the national government?
First, the constitution denies some powers to the national government in so many words; expressly. Among them, congress may not levy duties on exports; prohibit freedom of religion, speech, press, or assembly; conduct illegal searches or seizures; nor deny to any person accused of a crime a speedy and public trial or a trial by jury. Second, several powers are denied to the national government because of the silence of the constitution. Powers to create a public school system for the nation, to enact uniform marriage and divorce laws, and to set up units of local government. Third, some powers are denied to the national government because of the federal system itself. Clearly the constitution does not intend that the national government should have any power to take action that would threaten the existence of that system.

Never the less, each state governed itself much as it had in the past. This system, in which the power to govern is shared between the national government and the states, is called the federal system, or federalism.

What situation is most similar to establishment of the National Assembly before the French Revolution?
The establishment of the National Assembly before the French Revolution is most similar to the formation of the Third Estate in the Estates-General of 1789. In both situations, a marginalized group sought to assert its power and represent the interests of the common people against a rigid social hierarchy. The Third Estate's declaration of itself as the National Assembly marked a significant shift towards popular sovereignty and a challenge to the traditional authority of the monarchy and the privileged classes. This grassroots movement aimed to create a more equitable political framework, paralleling other revolutionary movements where disenfranchised groups sought to claim their rights and reshape governance.

Besides financial reform what else drove the third estate to declare itself a national assembly?
Besides financial reform, the Third Estate was motivated by a desire for political representation and social equality. They were frustrated by the Estates-General's structure, which disproportionately favored the privileged First and Second Estates, and sought to address their lack of influence in governance. Additionally, Enlightenment ideas emphasizing individual rights and popular sovereignty fueled their push for a more democratic political system. This combination of economic hardship, political disenfranchisement, and intellectual inspiration ultimately drove them to declare themselves the National Assembly.

Rumours, mosly. Parisians knew that the Third Estate had declared itself a National Assembly, and that the King was opposed to this. They feared that the King was gathering troops to suppress the popular uprisings, and needed arms to defend themselves. The muskets they took from Les Invalides, but they needed powder, and that was at the Bastille. See my novella on http://www.grenfell-banks.com/Bastille.htm
