The Estates General


The country of France has gone bankrupt, and the country is screaming for the Estates General, last called in 1614.


Finally the King calls the Estates General in 1789, the governing body of the three estates where each estate has the same number of representatives, to resolve the countries economic issues. But the Third Estate will always lose, 2 to 1, when voting for reforms against the First and Second Estates.


It was suggested by the public that the Third Estate have its number of representatives be doubled, so that it would have as much voting power as the First and Second Estates. But alas, the Parlement of Paris decided each Estate would have only one vote.
