Explanation:
The increase in the taxes by the Emperor following the emptying down of the royal treasury resulted in outrage and riots. Knowing full well the reason behind the riots, the Estates-General met in order to discuss over the issue of taxes and shared power.
The common people from the popular class called 'third estate' formed the National Assembly. The Emperor's unjust behavior towards the public angered the people and the fortress of Bastille was attacked.
