June 17, 1789
About 80% of the Third Estate were agricultural workers or peasants who lived and worked on the land owned by the Nobility or the Catholic Church. They were the subsistence farmers, swineherds, shepherds, dairymen, milkmaids and vinters who produced the grain, meat, produce and wine that fed and clothed the nation.
The National Assembly declared itself the official representative body of all the people of France during the French Revolution in 1789. This group emerged from the Third Estate, which represented the common people, and sought to establish a constitutional government. Their declaration marked a pivotal moment in the Revolution, signifying a shift in power away from the monarchy and the privileged classes.
La Convention was elected in 1792, suceeding to the Assemblée Législative.
In 1963, the peacock was declared the National Bird of India because of its rich religious and legendary involvement in Indian traditions. The criteria for this choice were many. The bird must be well-distributed within the country so it could truly 'national'. It must be recognisable to the common man. It must lend itself to formal depiction, i.e. abstract depiction on government publications, etc. It must not be confused with the bird emblem of any other nation. It should be associated with Indian myths and legends. The peacock fit the bill.
The duration of a national emergency can vary depending on the country and the specific legal framework in place. In the United States, for example, a national emergency can be declared by the President and remains in effect until it is terminated by the President, Congress, or a specified duration in the declaration itself. Some emergencies may last for a defined period, while others can be extended indefinitely until the situation is resolved. Regular reviews and legislative oversight often influence the continuation of the emergency status.
The Third Estate had as many members as the other two put together; but it was decreed that each Estate had ONE vote. That was why the Third Estate declared itself to be the National Assembly, and that declaration (the Tennis Court Oath affirmed it) was the start of the Revolution.
From 17 June to 9 July 1793.
About 80% of the Third Estate were agricultural workers or peasants who lived and worked on the land owned by the Nobility or the Catholic Church. They were the subsistence farmers, swineherds, shepherds, dairymen, milkmaids and vinters who produced the grain, meat, produce and wine that fed and clothed the nation.
The vow was not made by the National Assembly. The Third Estate solemnly swore they would not disband until they were recognised as a National Assembly and a constitution was drawn up and accepted by King Louis XVI. They vowed not to part or disband until they had written a Constitution.
all of the answer are correct
Rumours, mosly. Parisians knew that the Third Estate had declared itself a National Assembly, and that the King was opposed to this. They feared that the King was gathering troops to suppress the popular uprisings, and needed arms to defend themselves. The muskets they took from Les Invalides, but they needed powder, and that was at the Bastille. See my novella on http://www.grenfell-banks.com/Bastille.htm
That assembly called itself "l'Assemblée Nationale" (the National Assembly)
After the king rejected their list of grievances in 1789, the Third Estate declared itself the National Assembly, asserting that they represented the people of France. They took the Tennis Court Oath, vowing not to disband until they had drafted a new constitution for the country. This act marked a pivotal moment in the French Revolution, signifying a break from the traditional authority of the monarchy and the beginning of a struggle for greater representation and rights for the common people.
The establishment of the National Assembly before the French Revolution is most similar to the formation of the Third Estate in the Estates-General of 1789. In both situations, a marginalized group sought to assert its power and represent the interests of the common people against a rigid social hierarchy. The Third Estate's declaration of itself as the National Assembly marked a significant shift towards popular sovereignty and a challenge to the traditional authority of the monarchy and the privileged classes. This grassroots movement aimed to create a more equitable political framework, paralleling other revolutionary movements where disenfranchised groups sought to claim their rights and reshape governance.

Besides financial reform, the Third Estate was motivated by a desire for political representation and social equality. They were frustrated by the Estates-General's structure, which disproportionately favored the privileged First and Second Estates, and sought to address their lack of influence in governance. Additionally, Enlightenment ideas emphasizing individual rights and popular sovereignty fueled their push for a more democratic political system. This combination of economic hardship, political disenfranchisement, and intellectual inspiration ultimately drove them to declare themselves the National Assembly.
