Question-

Assertion (A): Clergy and Nobility enjoyed certain privileges and exemptions.

Reason(R): Peasants were obliged to render services to the lords.

• b. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
• c. A is true but R is false
• d. A is false but R is true​

Answer-

b. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

Explanation-

Clergy and Nobility enjoyed certain privileges and exemptions, such as not paying taxes. Peasants used to serve the lords, who are none other than the first estate or clergy and nobles. France under the Ancien Régime was divided society into three estates:

1. First Estate (clergy);
2. the Second Estate (nobility)
3. the Third Estate (commoners)

Answer 2

Answer:

The government does not require the clergy or nobles to pay taxes, which is one of their rights. They receive services from third parties or the peasants. They levy taxes and levies on the peasants, who are the third estate, in exchange for tithes.

Explanation:

The French Ancien Régime (Old Regime), a three-estate system that was in place until the French Revolution, is the most well-known system (1789–1799). The system was made up of the clergy (the First Estate), nobility (the Second Estate), peasants, and bourgeoisie, while the monarchy contained the king and the queen (Third Estate) Exemption from state taxes was the most significant privilege enjoyed by clergy and nobles in France in the 18th century. Taxes were only demanded from the third estate. The first two estates were not subject to taxes. The special benefits conferred by birth were known as feudal privileges.

The phrase was created in France, where both the wealthy and the clerical embraced it. They used to enjoy collecting taxes from the oppressed, destitute, and poor.
