Arguably, that’s what happened. The three estates (noble/clergy/commoner) were summoned by the king to an Estates General to discuss political changes, which led to the establishment of revolutionary government.

Kind of. The traditional estates didn’t provide an even remotely fair representation to the third estate, so the talking broke down before it even started, since the third estate just said “screw this, we are making our own convention” before the estates had actually convened.
