The correct answers to this open question are the following.

The mistakes that Louis made at the meeting were the following. King Louis was accompanied by soldiers as an act of intimidation to dissuade votes and he seemed unprepared because he did not bring any real proposal to vote on.

The Estates-General was the equivalent of the legislative in France. The French Estates were division comprised of classes of people. The first state was the clergy, the smallest group, but very influential. The Second Estate was the Nobility, the rich people that did not pay taxes. The Third State was the populace, the peasants, the craftsmen, the farmers, the poor people.

King Louis called a meeting in 1789, but the Third Estate didn't agree on the procedures and left, forming the National Assembly that supported the beginning of the French Revolution.
