The problem when the king called for the meeting of the Estates General in 1789 was that the Third Estate, representing the commoners, felt marginalized and underrepresented compared to the First and Second Estates, representing the clergy and nobility, respectively. The voting system in the Estates General gave each estate one vote, despite the Third Estate having a much larger population. This led to tensions and ultimately sparked the French Revolution as the Third Estate demanded equal representation and more political power.
