The Estates-General had not been convened for 150 years prior to its meeting in 1789 primarily due to the absolute monarchy in France, which favored centralized power and avoided sharing authority with representative bodies. Kings Louis XIV and Louis XV ruled without calling the Estates-General, relying on their royal prerogatives to govern. Additionally, the growing financial crisis and social unrest made it increasingly necessary to address grievances, ultimately leading to the assembly's revival in the wake of widespread discontent among the populace.
The Estate General had not been used because of the resentment of the church. The clergy and royalty were too closely related with one another.
The purpose of estates-general was to approve new taxes. However, the King did not consent and began reforming tax. But, in 1788, the Estate-general was called after 175 years.

Because the Third Estate refused to abide by the rules in use 150 years ago when that institution last met. The Third Estate believed that a more democratic and representative government was essential. They began meeting as a separate entity entitled the National Assembly which did not set well with the Clergy or the Nobles. They were insistent and persistent and they were resolved to abandon the rules of the Estates General.

The Estates General was called at the discretion of the king. For 175 years, no monarch had chosen to call a meeting. Louis XVI was flummoxed over what to do about France's economic problems, as well as how voting should be done. The Third Estate was at a disadvantage when the vote went by estate, since the First and Second Estates tended to vote together.
