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.
