Tennis Court Oath Three days later the Third Estate, along with some representatives from the other

two estates, met in a tennis court and swore the Tennis Court Oath. They declared that they would not disperse until changes were made. King Louis was

taken by surprise and after a week gave way to the demands of the Third Estate. On 27 J une he agreed that all three estates should meet and vote as one. From 9 J uly

the National Assembly became known as the Constituent Assembly and was in effect the French Parliament.

Before any further progress could be made, however, violence broke out in Paris. Rumours began to circulate that Louis was having second thoughts and that he was

planning to use forces to crush the Assembly. These were not true.
