Lia Sanchez · Answer 1

Because the Third Estate realized that they had little-to-no power and that it was unfair that the nobles and clergy had entirely too much/more than they did.

France was essentially bankrupt, and Louis was desperate for new ideas and taxes to get some money, so he summoned the Estates General.
