The Tennis Court Oath is associated with:

ARussian Revolution

BChinese Revolution

CFrench Revolution

DLatin American Revolution

Answer:

C. French Revolution

Read Explanation:

  • The Tennis Court Oath is associated with the French Revolution.

  • On June 20, 1789, in Versailles, members of the Third Estate (the commoners) were locked out of their usual meeting hall by King Louis XVI. Fearing the king was trying to force them to disband, they gathered at a nearby indoor tennis court. There, they swore a collective oath not to separate until they had drafted a new constitution for France.

This act was a pivotal moment for several reasons:

  • Assertion of Sovereignty: It was the first time that French citizens formally stood in defiance of the monarchy, declaring that political authority came from the people and their representatives, not from the king.

  • Formation of the National Assembly: The oath solidified the identity of the group as the National Assembly, a legitimate body representing the nation, rather than just one of the three estates.

  • Catalyst for Change: This display of unified resolve forced the king to make concessions and is widely seen as a key event that propelled the revolution forward, leading to the storming of the Bastille a few weeks later.
