The Estates general had not been convoked since 1614, and Louis XVI was basically forced to convoke them again in June 1789. The Estates general were an assembly of different classes (1st estate was the Clergy, 2nd was the nobility and the 3rd was the bourgeoisie). They had no power of their own, they were convoked and dismissed by the King as he pleased.
But in 1789, when a revolution was on hand, the 3rd estate of this Estate General started meeting on their own, without the other two estates. King Louis XVI tried to resist to this, and he shut down the Salle des États (the place where they met). This did not stop them and the 3rd estate moved to a nearby tennis court. Here they swore the Tennis Court Oath, stating they would never disband until there was a proper constitution written for France. Soon the 1st and 2nd estate joined them in their revolutionary ideas, and this event was (together with the storming of the Bastille 1 month later) the start of the French Revolution.

They often engaged in lavish displays of wealth and culture to reinforce their social status and legitimacy. Additionally, many aristocrats resisted reform efforts that threatened their power, such as the Estates-General and the subsequent push for equality during the French Revolution. Ultimately, these efforts were largely unsuccessful, leading to significant social upheaval and the decline of their traditional privileges.
What mistake did Louis XVI make at the meeting and what did his mistakes lead to?
At the meeting of the Estates-General in 1789, Louis XVI mistakenly failed to address the grievances of the Third Estate, which represented the common people, and instead attempted to maintain the status quo of the monarchy and the privileges of the nobility. His refusal to grant more power to the Third Estate or to reform the taxation system alienated a significant portion of the populace. This miscalculation ultimately led to the formation of the National Assembly, the Tennis Court Oath, and the outbreak of the French Revolution, which resulted in the downfall of the monarchy.
