In response to the Third Estate meeting, King Louis XVI initially attempted to dismiss the assembly and maintain the traditional structure of the Estates-General, which favored the first two estates (clergy and nobility). However, as tensions rose and the Third Estate declared itself the National Assembly, he eventually conceded by calling for a joint session of the Estates-General. His indecisiveness and failure to effectively address the grievances of the Third Estate contributed to the growing unrest that led to the French Revolution.

The third estate was excluded from the estates general meeting. As the third estate made up the general populace they then formed a meeting at the local tennis court where the tennis court oath took place; this is also how they formed their national assembly for the third estate. The fact that they were excluded is said to be a contributing factor to the French Revolution
