The National Assembly was the self-proclaimed government during the early days of the Revolution. They were the representatives of the Third Estate (meaning everybody in the population who wasn't noble or clergy) who went to attend the calling of the Estates General by King Louis XVI. The Third Estate's representatives had high hopes for the Estates General meeting, such as fair representation with the clergy and nobles, but they were disappointed. When Louis XVI stopped the meeting altogether, the Third Estate's representatives met in a nearby tennis court and proclaimed themselves the National Assembly of France. The National Assembly was the functioning government body during the first part of the Revolution. They were the ones who issued the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen.

The formation of the National Assembly in 1789 was a direct response to the perceived tyranny of the French monarchy, particularly King Louis XVI's disregard for the needs and rights of the Third Estate, which represented the common people. Frustrated by their lack of representation and the king's refusal to address their grievances, members of the Third Estate declared themselves the National Assembly, asserting their authority to represent the nation. This act signified a rejection of absolute monarchy and the feudal system, marking a pivotal moment in the fight for democracy and equality in France. The National Assembly aimed to establish a constitutional government that would reflect the will of the people rather than the whims of the monarchy.
