The Oath was made because the 3rd Estate wanted each deputy get one vote but they were unable to so they were going to write a constitution. They locked themselves in a tennis court, and swore that they would contiue to meet until they had a constitution written.
I just heard that the 3rd Estate is writing up a constitution called "The Tennis Court Oath"
I know i heard that there writing it up in an actual tennis court.
Arguments were very common in the writing of the constitution. Everyone had there own ideas and opinions which made arguments start.
I wonder what they want out of this writing on a constitution?
I've heard that they wanted liberty, property, and resistance of oppresstion.
The writing of the oath was democratic because there were so many people there in the writing of the oath so many people had a say.
Was making the oath democratic or autocratic?
I believe the writing of the constitution was democratic.
