Heya Mate ✌️

.The Third Estate would become a very important early part of the French Revolution. But the dramatic inequality in voting—the Third Estate represented more people, but only had the same voting power as the clergy or the nobility—led to the Third Estate demanding more voting power, and as things developed, more rights.

I hope it's helpful to you so mark as brainlist:-)

The Third Estate comprising commoners was a very important early part of the French. . The third estate was represented by its more prosperous and educated 600 members.

Explanation:

  • Louis XVI, who had assumed the French throne in 1774, proved inadequate to face the extreme financial difficulties that France was facing and which was due to Louis XVI extravagance way of living and poor and bad financial decisions. Hence, In 1789, in a concerted move to resolve France's crisis, Louis XVI called together the Estates-General, an assembly comprising the three "states of the French population — the aristocracy, the clergy, the commoners, and, .
  • The Estates General had not been convened since 1614, so their representative  had drawn up lengthy lists of grievances and proposed substantial constitutional and social reforms. Assembly elections was carried out on the basis of one vote in each estate. The French king himself was entitled to determine when this body was called, which was summoned last in the year 1614 until Louis XVI assembled this body again on 5th May 1789.
  • The drastic imbalance in representation — the Third State had more, but just the same electoral power as the clergy or aristocracy — contributed to the Third State seeking greater voting power and more privileges as the situation grew. That is, Third estates had protested against the proposal however, as each estate already had one vote, the king had rejected this appeal.
  • The third estate, with the most delegates, asserted its position as the National Assembly and made an oath compelling the king to enact a new constitution.

The ideals of liberty & democratic rights became the French Revolution's most significant legacy. They dispersed to Europe in the 19th century, from France, and ended feudal regimes. The ideals of democracy, dignity and solidarity of the French Revolution influenced all the democratic nations in the world. Who might have considered these privileges if they had not been designed.

It is indeed the legacy of the French revolution, we all are viewed equally today.
