Bastille was an ancient fort of France which was changed into prison. On 5th May 1789, after 175 years on the advice of Finance Minister Briyan, a meeting of Estate general was called. King was requested to abolish inequality, exploitation, special rights and bonded labour Begar (work without wage). Members of Third House (common category) wanted to have combined meeting of all classes but except a few Popes of I and II House, nobody came. On June 17, 1789 the Third House declared the Estates General, as the National Assembly. On 20 June when members of Third House came for the meeting, doors of the Assembly House was closed. Hence, meeting of the Assembly took place at the tennis court outside the building and took pledge that without drawing the Constitution of France, the Assembly would not be resolved. On 14th July, 1789 angry people attacked the Bastille Fort and released their leaders. This was the beginning of the revolution.
