Answer:
.
Explanation:
the third estate included professions
such as lawyers or administrative officials. All of these were educated and believed
that no group in society should be privileged by birth. Rather, a person’s social
position must depend on his merit. These ideas envisaging a society based on
freedom and equal laws and opportunities for all, were put forward by philosophers
such as John Locke and Jean Jacques Rousseau.

Answer:
Lawyers, Merchants, Peasants.
- The third estate of commoners made up the majority of the population. These included the judges, merchants, businesspeople, and farmers. The second estate was home to the nobles.
- Everyone else made up the Third Estate, from poor farmers to the bourgeoisie, or the affluent business elite. The Third Estate made up 96% of France's population, compared to the Second Estate's 1%, although it lacked the privileges and rights enjoyed by the other two estates.
- The Third Estate, or Tiers État in French, was one of the three classes into which members of the pre-Revolutionary Estates-General were divided in historical France, together with the aristocracy and the clergy. It represented the vast majority of the populace, and the French Revolution officially began in June 1789 when its delegates transformed into a National Assembly.
