Tennis Court Oath

On June 20, 1789 in Versailles, France, the deputies of the Third Estate met on the Jeu de Paume, an indoor tennis court, in defiance of King Louis XVI's order to disperse. In these modest surroundings, they took a historic oath not to disband until a new French constitution had been adopted.
