France was divided into one of three social classes or estates
there were three estates in france and the poorest ones were taxed the most
In the National Assembly in France during the time of the French Revolution, as you know was separated into three estates. The first estate consisted of the clergy who were hardly taxed and enjoyed many privileges. The second estate was filled with nobles so high class citizens. They too paid next to no taxes and had dominance over the third estate. The third and final estate consisted of commoners, anyone from bankers to peasants were unfairly categorized and bundled up into this single heap of French citizens. This group of people would pay almost all of the taxes in France and owned the majority of the total land in France. Now in the National Assembly each estate would get one vote. The first and second estates would team up and had authority over the third estate, unfairly dominating and suppressing the views and values of the third estate.
The French Estates General was made up of three main groups. This first Parliament consisted of the First Estates of clergy, the Second Estate of nobility, and the Third Estate of commoners.

i think The third estate is the common people, the largest group of people in France, difficult to get rid of them. On June 17, 1789, the Third Estate began the French Revolution. The formation of the National Constituent Assembly marked the end of the Estates-General, but not of the three estates.
What are the three key ideas in the meeting of the estates general?" what was the problem in the estates. what was the problem in the estates.
goal of first estate was to maintain status quo, not be taxed and gain more power. That of second estate was same. That of third was to get greater power and require other 2 estates to pay taxes
The Third Estate. It represented 99 % of the population including the bougeoise, workmen and peasants. All of them had to pay taxes. The other two estates - the clergy and the nobility did not contribute to the budget, but through their privileges they did not pay taxes, their income and wealth came from others' labour and taxes and tolls.
