A N S W E R :-

  • The French society in the 18th century was divided into three estates.They are:

  • The first estate consisted of the clergymen, the second estate consisted of the nobles and the third estate consisted of the common people most of whom were peasants.

Let's go deep into the topic!

How was the French society before the Revolution?

  • Before the French Revolution, French society was structured on the relics of feudalism, in a system known as the Estates System.

  • In contrast, the clergy and the nobility controlled the majority of the land in France and held all of the important positions in the government, military and church.

What are causes of French Revolution?

  • International: struggle for hegemony and Empire outstrips the fiscal resources of the state.

  • Political conflict: conflict between the Monarchy and the nobility over the “reform” of the tax system led to paralysis and bankruptcy.

Why was the French society divided into three estates?

  • France under the Ancien Regime (before the French Revolution) divided society into three estates:

  • the First Estate (clergy) the Second Estate (nobility) and the Third Estate (commoners).

  • The system was outrageously unjust in throwing a heavy tax burden on the poor and powerless.
