About this quiz

What you’ll explore

Move through the pivotal weeks of 1789, from the calling of the Estates-General to the Third Estate’s break with traditional authority. You’ll practice connecting grievances, procedure, and political legitimacy to the formation of the National Assembly.

Each question gives 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can focus on careful reading and historical reasoning rather than speed.

Skills you’ll practice

You’ll sharpen your ability to place events in order, identify major figures and factions, and interpret why procedural disputes mattered as much as street politics. Expect a blend of straightforward recall and “what changed next?” questions that reward a solid timeline.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Many players mix up Estates-General vs. National Assembly vs. Constituent Assembly, or confuse voting “by order” with voting “by head.” Another frequent slip is treating the Tennis Court Oath as an endpoint rather than a catalyst for escalating claims of sovereignty.

Difficulty and settings

Difficulty is balanced by mixing foundational facts with deeper context questions, so beginners can build confidence while advanced players stay challenged. Choose your preferred question count and difficulty before starting to tailor the session to quick practice or a full review.

  • Distinguish the Three Estates, their interests, and representation disputes
  • Track key moments: cahiers, deadlock, Tennis Court Oath, royal session
  • Identify leading voices and institutions shaping early revolutionary authority
  • Test cause-and-effect: why procedure triggered constitutional change
  • Reinforce precise terms (sovereignty, legitimacy, mandate, veto) without guesswork
