Answer:
First Estate and Second Estate-These estates consisted of the clergy and nobility. About 60% of the land was owned by nobles, the church and other members of the third estate.

big businessman, merchants, court officials, lawyers, peasants and artisans, Small peasants, landless labourers and servants etc. Peasants were 90% population with very low few owners of land. Only the members of third estate paid taxes.
