The Old Regime
Picture
The old regime was the social and political system of France in which people were separated into three social classes also known as the estates.
1st Estate: The First Estate contained the clergy of the Roman Catholic Church. This was only 1% of the population of France. The 1st estate owned 10% of the land in France and contributed 2% of their income towards the government.
2nd Estate: The Second Estate contained nobles. This was only 2% of the population of France. The 2nd estate owned 20% of the land in Franc and contributed no taxes.
The 1st and 2nd Estates were known as the privileged esates. They both disliked the ideas of the Enlightment because they claimed it threatened their status and power.
3rd Estate: The Third Estate contained three different groups that made up 97% of the population in France.
Bourgeoisie - bankers, factory owners, merchants, and artisans. They paid high taxes and lacked privileges
Workers - The workers of France were the poorest group in France. They were tradespeople, apprentices, laborers, and servants.
Peasants - Peasants were the farmers of France. They contained 80% of the third estate. They paid about half of their income to the nobles and the clergy.
