Answer 2

Answer:

A is the correct option.

Explanation:

Tennis court oath was the pledge that was signed at the beginning of the French revolution. It displayed the belief that political authority should come from the masses instead of from the monarchy. It was named "Tennis court oath" because it was signed on a tennis court. When the third estate which represented the common people in Estates-General was locked out of their meeting place, all the 576 members moved to a tennis court in Saint-Louis, Versailles. There they signed the oath that they would keep meeting until they have written a new constitution.
