Question

briefly describe what was wrong with the french society in 1789,on the eve of the revolution.

Answer 1

The clergies and nobles were enjoying the feudal priviliges by birth, on this they weren't paying taxes. So the 3rd estate used to pay taxes which was wrong. On this when louis16 assended the throne he founded his treasury to be empty. so he called the assembly where 1st and 2nd estate had it 1 whole vote where at 3rd estate had it half vote. so pressuring the 3rd estate was wrong.
