Question

Name the group of people who paid all taxes before the French revolution​

⟹ Third Estate consisting of merchants

• The middle class or the richer members of the Third Estate consisting of merchants, traders, lawyers and rich peasants benefited the most from the French Revolution; feudal obligations were no longer to be honored by the Third Estate.
• Tithes, the tax given to the Church, were abolished.
• The clergy and nobility were the groups which were forced to relinquish power.
• Now they could not collect taxes and their lands were confiscated.
• The poorer sections of the third estate and women were disappointed with the outcome of the French revolution because their aspirations were not properly fulfilled, example women were not given voting rights.
• Poor men who did not have fulfilled property or who did not pay taxes were not allowed to vote.
