In 1789, the three estate generals met to discuss a problem that they were all confronting. With all of the bickering among the states, the Third Estate General quickly became enraged that their voices were not being heard by the others and claimed to be genuine representatives of the French people and France. This way of thinking led to the formation of the National Assembly.
