Growing discontent in the third estate with King Louis XVI desire to hold onto the country's history of absolute government. So they called a meeting of all the estates together to make a reform,their proposal was to hold a vote by head instead of by estate. This would have given the Third Estate, a stronger voice in the Estates General. The men of the Third Estate really wanted this and they were anxious to discuss these measures. But they arrived at their assigned meeting hall but found it locked against them. So the deputies believed that this was an attempt by Louis XVI to end their demands for reform and their desier increased. Refusing to be held down by their King any longer, they deputies did not break up, instead they moved their meeting to a nearby indoor tennis court. They talk about how the Third Estate could protect themselves from those in positions of authority and those who wanted to destroy them. Mounier proposed that the Third Estate adopt an oath of allegiance. It proposed oath was to read that they would remain together until a constitution had been written, meeting wherever it was required and resisting pressures form the outside. The proposal was a success. It was promptly written and signed by 577 members of the Third Estate. Later, the document was named the Tennis Court Oath. This goes directly with the decleration of rights of man because the people were owning up to their own rightstanding up and uniting.
