They wanted to institute reforms to benefit ordinary citizens.
The Third Estate (commoners) formed the National Assembly in June 1789 because they were frustrated with the old Estates-General voting system and wanted to push through political and social reforms (equal representation, fair taxation, end of feudal privileges) that would help ordinary people. They were not primarily trying to remove the king or simply to lower taxes or deal only with famine.
