Representatives of the Third Estate had different ideas. They wanted to introduce reform that would greatly change the structure of government and society. Fearing their intentions, Louis XVI had the members of the Third Estate locked out of the Estates General. They then named themselves the National Assembly and met at a nearby tennis court. There they took an oath, known as the Oath of the Tennis Court, which started that the National Assembly would not break up until they had written a constitution for France.
Fearing trouble, the King called for troops to concentrate in areas around Paris. This was the spark that led to the eruption of violence. Fearing that the King was going to abolish the National Assembly, citizens in Paris formed themselves into a mob and attacked a government prison called "the Bastille" which, to many French people symbolized the injustice of the monarchy (July 14 or Bastille Day is still a nationa holiday in France). the violence soon spread to thecountryside as poor peasants attacked their landlord.
