The meeting of the three Estates that had been agreed to takes place at Vizille on July 21.

Several hundred people assemble, representing the three Estates, the nobility, the clergy and the middle class (the bourgeoisie), who are granted double representation.

The meeting is led by a moderate reformist lawyer, Jean Joseph Mounier, and passes resolutions convoking the States-General of France; pledging the province to refuse to pay all taxes not voted by the Estates-General; and calling for the abolition of arbitrary imprisonment on the King's order by the warrant known as the lettre de cachet.

These demands will be accepted by the King.
