Kingdom of France. France under the Ancien Régime (before the French Revolution) divided society into three estates: the First Estate (clergy); the Second Estate (nobility); and the Third Estate (commoners). The king was considered part of no estate

The French society was divided into three states.

  • The first estate : It consisted of the clergymen and church-fathers.
  • The second estate : It consisted of landlords, men of noble birth and aristocrats .
  • The third estate : It consisted of the vast majority of the common masses, the landless peasants, servants, etc.

The members of the first two estates were extempted from paying taxes to the states. So all the taxes were to be paid by the people of the Third estate.

Most of the people of third estate were employed as labourers in workshops with fixed wages. The wages failed to keep pace with the rice in prices .

So, the gap between the rich and poor widened.
