Answer:
The tax system in pre-revolutionary France largely exempted the nobles and the clergy from taxes. The tax burden therefore devolved to the peasants, wage-earners, and the professional and business classes, also known as the Third Estate.

Answer:
The members of the third estate had to pay direct tax to the state known as 'taille'. Indirect taxes were imposed on tobacco, salt and many other everyday items. Thus, the third estate was seething with financial difficulties. There was the rise and emergence of many social groups in France in the eighteenth century.
