Question

​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Third Estate consisted of peasants who formed 90% of the French population comprising workers, professionals, businessmen and manufacturers.

This Estate was the unprivileged section which enjoyed no political rights and social status, despite bearing the burden of the taxes. Not all worked on land. Within the Third Estate too there were evident disparities in wealth and style.
