The Assembly of French Nobility and Clergy Estates had the authority to vote on new taxes.
Explanation:
- During the French Revolution and before the insurgency, it was mainly the nobility and clergy who has the authority to vote on new taxes.
- Thus the commoners had little to no role in the making and formation of taxes, except for when they were being taxed.
- The French were divided into 'Three Estates' these estates were the nobility which consisted of the king and royals who enjoyed and reaped the taxes.
- The next estate was the clergymen who were the main officials and made the taxes thus being the main tax-initiating assembly of clergy.
- The third was the commoners who had no role to play in tax-creation but had to pay their taxes to the upper authorities.
- Thus clearly showing a case of unfair and disproportionate hierarchy.
