Can any one can please explain the 3 estate
Dear Student
The society inFrance
1) The First Estate were Clergies who were part of the Church. In the Second Estate, there were noblemen who were part of the nobility. And in the Third Estate there were common people such as peasants and other professionals such as administrative workers and lawyers.
2) Peasants made up about 90 per cent of the population. a small number of them owned the land which they cultivated. About 60 per cent of the land was owned by nobles, the Church and other richer members of the third estate. The members of the first two
Estates , that is, the clergy and the nobility, enjoyed certain privileges by birth.
3)The most important of these was exemption from paying taxes to the state. The nobles further enjoyed feudal privileges. These included feudal dues, which they extracted from the peasants. Peasants were obliged to render services to the lord – to work in his house and fields – to serve in the army or to participate in building roads.
