Detailed Solution

During the Old Regime, the monarch had to call a meeting of Estates General, which would then pass his proposals for new taxes. However, the monarch alone could decide when to call a meeting of this body but did not have the power to sanction the taxes alone. Therefore, he had to consult with the members of the estate. The Estates-General was a political body to which the three estates sent their representatives. Hence both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
