- Who attended? The 3 Estates.

- Main proposal: All subjects, must pay taxes proportionally to their income including a land tax.

-Voting system & main issue:  Each Estate would have as a whole 1 vote. Which outnumbered the 3rd Estate and meant that the financial burden would remain upon the 3rd Estate.

- Consequence: Most of the 3rd Estate abandoned the meeting and worked separately as a National Constituent Assembly.

 - The Third Estate was the only legitimate estate since it made up almost the entirety of France's population and paid most of the taxes. 
- The First and Second Estates, therefore, were dead weight and should be abolished.
