• Instead of abandoning their movement for equality among the Estates and change in the government the group moved their meeting to an indoor tennis court
• The members rocked the French government and aristocracy that day by passing a bold new constitution by voting by heads, which gave the much forgotten and oppressed Third Estate majority in the vote.
