Question

what was the estate general​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Explanation: In France under the Old Regime, the Estates General (French: États généraux) or States-General was a legislative and consultative assembly (see The Estates) of the different classes (or estates) of French subjects. It had a separate assembly for each of the three estates, which were called and dismissed by the king.

Answer 2

Answer:

In France of the Old Regime the monarch did not have the

power to impose taxes according to his will alone. Rather he had to

call a meeting of the Estates General which would then pass his

proposals for new taxes. The Estates General was a political body to

which the three estates sent their representatives. However, the

monarch alone could decide when to call a meeting of this body.
