Answer 2

Insofar as France had a Parliament, it was the Etats-Généraux (Estates General). In the 18th Century, it was called only once - in 1789. The three Estates were the Clergy, the Nobility and the Third Estate (Tiers Etat). Against the votes of the first two (who were exempt from most taxes) the Third Estate were powerless. The King had not called the Estates for 150 years precisely because its meetings always ended in trouble. Incidentally, the term THIRD WORLD is originally French Tiers Monde and compares the poor nations of the world to the Third Estate.
