Why were the representatives of the Third Estate disappointed with the pattern of voting in the Estate General?
The representatives of the Third Estate were disappointed with the pattern of voting in the Estates General because each estate was granted one vote, which meant that the combined votes of the privileged First and Second Estates (clergy and nobility) could easily outvote the Third Estate, despite it representing the vast majority of the population. This unequal voting structure reinforced their marginalization and lack of influence in decision-making processes. The Third Estate sought a more equitable system, such as voting by head, which would allow their larger numbers to hold more weight in legislative matters. This frustration ultimately contributed to their decision to break away and form the National Assembly.
