Quotes by Jeremy D. Popkin (?)

“Fearing that the king would try to quash their decisions, the deputies held an emergency session in the only building they could find that was large enough to accommodate them, the king’s indoor tennis court. There, they swore the dramatic “Oath of the Tennis Court,” pledging not to cease meeting until they had given France a new constitution.”
