Explanation:

Answer 2

Tithe is the tax levied by the church on the third estate.

• Tithes are the name for the taxes that the Church collects from peasants and all other members of the third estate.
• These taxes were separated into direct and indirect categories.
• Both the direct tax also referred to as taille, and the indirect taxes, which were imposed on goods used in daily life like salt or tobacco, are known.
• Peasants made up approximately 90% of the total population. A small percentage, though, had their own land.
• The Church, nobles, and other wealthy third estate members collectively possessed 60% of the land in France.
• The clergy, the nobles, and the first two estates were born with distinct privileges in society.
• The Nobles also benefited from feudal privileges, such as collecting feudal dues from the peasants.
• In exchange for compensation, peasants were required to work for the aforementioned two estates in their homes, fields, armies, or when constructing roads.
