a) French society was divided into three estates, that is clergy, nobility and the common man.
b) The members of church and nobility enjoyed certain privileges by birth, the most important being the exemption from paying taxes to the state.
c) Feudal dues were extracted by nobles from peasants and 1/10th of the produce was given to clergy in the form of taxes. All members of third estate had to pay taxes which burdened them and this frustration led to the cause of French revolution.

Answer:
French Revolution was led by the third estate due to the rise in taxes. It also demanded equality of all before law. And thus their major demand was the abolition of feudal dues, manorial laws and serfdom.
