Imagine that you are a French person reading Abbé Sieyès’ pamphlet in early 1789, just before the
meeting of the Estates-General. As a member of the nobility, how might you react? How might you
react as a member of the Third Estate? Explain your answer.
Answers
I I don't know how I will react but maybe like this
Answer:
Abbé Sieyès' pamphlet in early 1789, argued that the Third Estate which included commoners, was the true representation of the nation and deserved equal political rights. My reaction in both the cases is given below:
Explanation:
As a member of the Nobility, I might feel offended and defensive about Sieyès' argument that the Third Estate of commoners like peasants, artisans, and merchants, was the true representation of the nation and deserved equal political rights.
Nobility was the privileged class that had earned their status through their service to the king and country and the Third Estate was not eligible or deserving to rule alongside them. I might also be concerned about the potential loss of power and influence that the nobility would face if the Third Estate was given equal representation.
As a member of the Third Estate, I would be motivated and emboldened by Sieyès' argument. I may feel that my class had been unfairly excluded from political power for so long and that the nobility was clinging to their privileges at the expense of the common good.
Later, I may also be frustrated by the unequal representation in the meeting of the Estates-General, where the Third Estate had as many representatives as the other two estates put together despite being far more populous.
