Frankly, it can't. Before the Estates General, the King (and his minister Calonne) called an Assembly of Notables to try and sort out the financial mess the country was in. The notables, however, including six out of seven royal Dukes, turned out to be more radical than anybody had expected, and to demand great strides towards the representation of the people. Most of them also demanded the calling of the Estates, which is what the King simply had to do next. Once the Estates were called, the crazy voting system was bound to cause trouble, and again many of the Second estate (the Nobles) sided with the Third and helped them form a National Assembly, which produced the first Constitution.

∙ 12y agoLouis XVI feared that France's government was going to be bankrupt, so he called a meeting of the Estates' General to find a solution. He had hoped they would vote to raise taxes, a simple solution. However, none of the Estates wanted this. Unfortuatly, Louis decided that the meeting would be according to the old rules, where the 3 Estates met separatly and each cast one vote, so the First and Second Estates' votes would outnumber the Third's. The Third Estate refused to meet seperatly, however, so they went outside to the tennis courts, declared themselves the national assembly of France, and swore to write a constitution! The revolution had begun!!
