The Third Estate wanted change during the French Revolution. They wanted to be treated equally in terms of social, political and economic fairness. The Third Estate had to pay hefty taxes, unlike the First Estate (The Clergy) or the Second Estate (The Nobility)

The Third Estate joined to form the National Assembly, where they fought to have the right to vote whereby voting was conducted by head rather that one vote for the whole Estate (as the First and Second Estates would always defeat the Third Estate 2-1).

The National Assembly wanted to write a constitution. They found themselves locked out of their usually meeting spot, so held an emergency meeting in an indoor tennis court where they initiated the Tennis Court Oath. They swore "never to separate and to meet wherever the circumstances might require until we have established a sound and just constitution."

In this constitution, the Third Class wanted equal rights in terms of liberty, private property, the inviolability of the person, and resistance to oppression for the people of France
