What issues arose after the king called for the Estates-General to meet?

Answer 1

Louis XVI called the Estates General because there was concern over the financial state of the government, and food shortages. Within the Estates General, another disagreement arose, over how they should vote. If it were by majority, the Third Estate, which bore the brunt of France's financial obligations would win, but if it went according to estates, the Aristocrats and Clergy, who always voted together, would win. Louis voted for the estates.

Answer 2

How do you count the votes became a central issue. When it became clear to the delegates from the Third Estate that the rules of the Ancient Regieme were wanted by the Catholic Clergy and the Nobility instead of a more modern concept of "one man, one vote" they established the National Assembly and took the Tennis Court Oath and swore to create a contitution.

Answer 3

Monsieur Lomenie de Brienne was the finance minister of Louis XVI at the time. He wanted to introduce a series of economizations, but the notables did not approve of his plans. He begged the King to take a stand, but Louis XVI hesitated. La Fayette was the one that advised Louis XVI to call for the Estates General. Eventually, Louis XVI took this advice, but since it took him so long to make up his mind about it, the whole country had already formed their own opinions.
