Members of the Third Estate felt underrepresented at the Estates General in May 1789 because they made up the vast majority of the population yet had the same number of votes as the much smaller First and Second Estates. Despite their significant numbers, their concerns and interests were often overshadowed by the privileges and influence of the clergy and nobility. Additionally, the Third Estate was largely composed of commoners, who lacked the same level of political power and social status, leading to feelings of frustration and marginalization in the decision-making process.

The Third Estate made up 95% of the population but had little power is the general Estates and they wanted equal privileges.
At the third meeting of the Estates-General on June 17, 1789, the representatives of the Third Estate, frustrated by their lack of influence and the refusal of the other estates to join them in a combined assembly, declared themselves the National Assembly. They asserted their intention to represent the people of France and committed to drafting a new constitution. This pivotal moment marked a significant step towards the French Revolution, as the Third Estate sought to challenge the existing power structures.
