ANSWER:
b. Estate and Order
EXPLANATION:
The 18th century society was largely segregated into estates and orders and it was the church and aristocracy who controlled social and economic power. The "estates of" the territory were the expansive "orders of social hierarchy" adopted in Christian Europe from the medieval period to early modern Europe. Different systems for dividing society members into estates evolved over time. The 1st estate comprised the clergy, the 2nd estate included the nobility and the 3rd estate comprised urban workers, peasants and bourgeoisie.
Lawfully, the first 2 estates had several privileges, especially exemption from many types of taxation. The 1st estate, "the clergy, comprised" the poor and rich. There were rich abbots, aristocrat members who lived in extravagance of rich church lands, and poor community priests who lived like peasants. The 2nd estate, including the nobility, got their "wealth from the land" and inherited their titles. A few members of the 2nd estate had less money, however, had enjoyed privileges of a noble rank.
Nevertheless, a major of them enjoyed both wealth and privileges. The 3rd estate comprising the common people was quite a large group. It comprised the wealthy merchants whose wealth rivalled that of the doctors, the nobility, lawyers, the urban poor, the peasants who worked on lands, and the shopkeepers.
