The members who attended the tennis court oath consisted of the poor people from the 3rd estate. These people were fighting for lower taxes and equal rights within France and since the government didn't give it to them they decided to create a revolution to take it for themselves. -
Storming the Bastille
The citizens of the 3rd estate decided to storm the bastille which was a prison and gunpowder vault because they knew if they did it would show how powerful they were and they also would have lots of gunpowder for when they storm the capital/King and Queens home. -
Declaration of the Rights of Man
This consisted of all men being equal before law, all had natural rights (liberty, property, and security), and jobs/positions were based on skill and merit. This was one of the things that the 3rd estate was fighting for but they still were willing to take more. -
