Answer:
The third estate had to pay the taxes and they alone bore the expenditure for France. The nobility used up the tax money and war costs and debts forced the king to increase taxes at a time when France was in a subsistence crisis.
New age thinkers and a growing middle-class envisaged a end to the old system of privileges based on birth as they felt that a person should be judged not on the basis of birth, but on the basis of his contribution to society.
The taxes were the main conflict between the two Estates of the Old Regime in France.
