The Estates General assembly in 1789-1815 faced significant issues with vote tabulation primarily due to the method of voting used. Each of the three estates (clergy, nobility, and commoners) had one vote, which meant that the two privileged estates could easily outvote the Third Estate, despite the latter representing the majority of the population. This led to widespread frustration and perceptions of unfairness, ultimately contributing to the Third Estate's declaration of itself as the National Assembly and the subsequent push for more equitable representation and voting practices.
