The Estates General was called in 1789 largely due to the financial crisis in France, exacerbated by heavy national debt, poor harvests, and widespread discontent among the populace. King Louis XVI sought to address the fiscal challenges and proposed reforms, but he required the consent of the Estates General, which had not convened since 1614. The assembly brought together representatives from the three estates: clergy, nobility, and commoners, leading to a power struggle that ultimately sparked the French Revolution. By 1790, the calling of the Estates General resulted in the formation of the National Assembly and the assertion of the Third Estate's demands for political reform and greater representation.
