Answer:
the French society was divided into 3 sections
the upper caste - priests
the noble class - rich and noble people
the lower class - common folks
the priests enjoyed the most as they used to extract church taxes from the people and didn't had to give any.

The lower class was the least benefited as they had to pay taxes to both the upper and the noble class
