OUVERTURE DES ETATS-GENERAUX A VERSAILLES.5 MAI 1789 - Auguste Couder @credits The Estates-General (or States-General) of 1789 (États-Généraux de 1789) was the first meeting since 1614 of the French Estates-General, a general assembly representing the French estates of the realm: the nobility, the church, and the common people. Summoned by King Louis XVI to propose solutions to his government’s financial problems, the Estates-General sat for several weeks in May and June 1789 but came to an impasse as the three estates clashed over their respective powers. It was brought to an end when many members of the Third Estate formed themselves into a National Assembly, signaling the outbreak of the French Revolution.
