  • Sieyès's purpose is to isolate and marginalise the nobility in his readers’ eyes, and to expose it to their critical censure. In the circumstances of 1789, his message took on startling implications about the respective roles of the nobility and the Third Estate in the Estates-General.
  • The significance of Sieyès's pamphlet lay in its ‘consciousness-raising’.

One idea could be that they are going to be more self-directed?? Not sure
