The National Assembly met at the Royal Tennis Court on June 20, 1789, because they were locked out of their usual meeting place, the Estates-General, by King Louis XVI. This action was part of the king's attempts to suppress their growing power and influence during the early stages of the French Revolution. The tennis court served as a makeshift venue where the members could continue their discussions and ultimately took the Tennis Court Oath, vowing not to disband until a new constitution was established. This event symbolized their commitment to representing the people and challenging royal authority.
