French revolution: the source of the conflict in the meeting of the Estates General

score:3

In theory, the "credentials" were only important so far as to ensure the deputy had a legal right to be in the assembly. In practice, however, the "checking of credentials" was effectively an election, because the estates voted on them, kind of like the way the Senate votes on executive appointments in the United States. If the commoners and clergy were allowed to vote on noble credentials, they could basically kick out of the assembly any noble deputy they did not like.

A secondary, non-political issue was the nobles undoubtedly resented the idea of presenting their credentials to commoners--an outrage and humiliation.
