The Tennis Court Oath was a pivotal event during the early stages of the French Revolution, occurring on June 20, 1789. Members of the Third Estate, who had been locked out of a meeting of the Estates-General, gathered in a tennis court and pledged not to disband until they had drafted a new constitution for France. This oath symbolized their determination to challenge the authority of the monarchy and represent the common people, marking a significant step toward establishing a democratic government.
