The Tennis Court Oath (French: serment du jeu de paume) was a pivotal event during the first days of the French Revolution. The Oath was a pledge signed by 576 of the 577 members from the Third Estate who were locked out of a meeting of the Estates-General on 20 June 1789. They made a makeshift conference room inside a tennis court located in the Saint-Louis district of Versailles (commune), near the Palace of Versailles.
In the United States, jurors take what is known as a jurors oath. The juror must take the oath by swearing to God that they will render a verdict only according to the presented evidence in the case.
I hereby declare, on oath
AnswerThe Tennis Court Oath was a result of the growing discontent of the Third Estate in France in the face of King Louis XVI's desire to hold onto power. The estates General met at Versailles, each Estate in its own building. The Third estate was restless and grumblesome from the start because the voting system guaranteed that they would never have a majority. While arguments about this went on, the Third turned up for work one day to find their hall closed 'for redecoration'. This was the last straw; they moved into the King's Tennis court (Jeu de Paume) and in the course of a noisy meeting swore not to be broken up until they had been recognised as a National Assembly, like the House of Commons in England or the US Congress.Real (that is, Royal) Tennis is played indoors, in a space longer and narrower than a modern court, surrounded by galleries for spectators. It makes a very good meeting place in an emergency.For further information on the subject, see the Related Link below.
