Question

The French Revolution in its first phase was started by the a) Third Estate c) Bourgeoise b) aristocracy d) clergy​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Third Estate

Explanation:

Before the French Revolution, the French Aristocracy and clergy had privileges that exempted them from paying taxes and hence all the taxes burdened on the third estate.

During that time, France's treasury was penniless and to produce more currency, the Government pressurized the 3rd estate with more taxes.

Hence, the Third estate is the answer, as they started the French Revolution to bring Equality, Fraternity and Liberty.
