[63] The Estates-General met at Versailles on May 5, 1789. They were immediately divided over a fundamental issue: should they vote by head, so as to give advantage to the Third Estate, or by estate, in which case the two privileged ones might outvote the third? In the bitter struggle over this legal issue the deputies of the Third Estate soon won the support of the parish priests against the privileged, whom the king favored. The Third Estate was victorious when, in defiance of the king, it met on June 20 in the jeu de paume (tennis) court and swore never to disperse until it had given France a new constitution. The king grudgingly gave in and invited the clergy and nobility to join the Third Estate and so to form the National Constituent Assembly; but at the same time he began gathering troops to dissolve it.
