How was the system of estates in French society organised
Answers
It was divided into 3 estates.
The first and second estates were of clergy and noblemen and the third estate had all others (artisans, peasants, merchants etc.)
The first 2 groups consisted of about 10% of population and owned 70% of land. They also enjoyed benefits like exemption from tax paying.
3rd estate did not enjoy any benefit and had to pay taxes like tithe and taille.
