Soon after the American Revolution, there was a revolution in France. French society, during this time, was divided into three classes or ‘estates’- the clergy, the nobility and the commoners. The king and the royal family, along with the clergy and the nobility, lived in great luxury. All political power was concentrated in their hands. They owned vast quantities of land and paid no taxes. The entire tax burden was borne by the common people comprising of the merchants, the artisans and the peasants. The merchants, despite being tax-payers, were denied political rights. The peasants too were extremely unhappy as they were always on the brink of starvation.
