Explanation:
France was a monarchy before the French revolution in 1789. Monarchy means France was ruled by a hereditary king. Louis XVI was the king of France. The French society was divided into three classes called Estates. The first estate was clergy (priestly class). The second estate was nobles (rich people). The third estate was the commoners (poor and middle class people). Most people in France were in third estate. They comprised more than 90 % of the French population. The first and second estates lived the luxurious life. These two estates were getting all the high- ranking jobs. People in third estate were less developed and poor. Most of them were engaged in agricultural activities. While the king and the first two estates lived the luxurious life, the third estate was living in extreme poverty. The third estate revolted against the king, clergy and nobles. This marked the beginning of French revolution.
