$\rm{\fbox{Extra \: information}}$

The first two classes lived in luxury and did not have to bear burden of taxation. The commoners were the under-privileged. Even the rich middle-class, consisting of merchants and factory-owners, fell into this category. They had wealth but no political rights. They had to pay heavy taxes and they resented the privileges enjoyed by the aristocrats. The workers and the peasants, who suffered as a result of existing social system, wanted to change it.
