Answers
If I was a native of France before 1789 and I do not have to pay tax to the goverment, then I would belong to the First Estate
Explanation:
Under the Ancient Regime in France, prior to the French Revolution, the society was divided into three estates: the First Estate; the Second Estate; and the Third Estate.
The king was considered part of no estate.
The First Estate were the clergymen, the Second Estate were the nobles and the commoners belonged to the Third Estate.
The First Estate were given financial privileges, such as tam exemption. They were not required to pay taille, which was a direct tax in France. Instead of paying taxes, the First Estate made an annual payment to the crown, known as a don gratuit or 'free gift'.
Explanation:
Before 1789, the state that was considered to be exempted from paying taxes was called First state.
Before French revolution, there was a system of King and his subjects in France. His subjects were ranked in three groups, First estate, second estate and third estate.
The first estate were considered superior to the other two states and they were given exemption from paying taxes to the King. This estate belonged to rich people and they would give gift to King instead of tax payments
