HISTORY
I. Read the source given below and answer the following questions.
On 5 May 1789, Louis XVI called together an assembly of the Estates
General to pass proposals for new taxes. A resplendent hall in
Versailles was prepared to host the delegates. The First and Second
Estates sent 300 representatives each, who were seated in rows facing
each other on two sides, while the 600 members of the Third estate
had to stand at the back. The Third estate was represented by its more
Prosperous and educated members. Peasants, artisans and women
were denied entry to the assembly. However, their grievances and
demand were listed in some 40,000 letters which the representatives
had brought with them.
Voting in the Estates General in the past had been conducted
according to the principle that each estate had one vote. This time too
Louis XVI was determined to continue the same practice. But member
of the Third estate demanded that voting now be conducted by the
assembly as a whole, where each member would have one vote. This
was one of the democratic principles put forward by philosophers like
Rousseau in his book “The Social Contract”. When the king rejected
 this proposal, members of the Third estate walked out of the assembly
in protest.
1. Why was an assembly of the Estates General called by Louis XVI?
2. What was the proportion of the representatives of First, Second and
Third Estates in the resplendent hall in Versailles?
3. On what principle was the voting in the estates done in the past?
