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.

Melllvar@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What unethical experiment do you think would be interesting to conduct?English2·1 month agoThis is somewhat similar to how Nicaraguan sign language was developed. Basically, kids at a school for the deaf invented it.
Almost certainly. You’d have to go out of your way to find a keyfob system that doesn’t. I administer a keyfob system at work, and I can tell you exactly whose key was used on which doors and at what times.
