Dear Student,

Circumstances before the French Revolution:-
1) Division of Society into three states which created
a sense of disparity amongs the citizens of France
- The first Estates consisted of clergymen and the
church fathers
- The second Estate consisted of landlords, men of
noble birth and the aristocrats
- the Third Estate consisted of the vast majority of
the common masse, the landless peasents and servant etc
2 Heavy burden of taxes were put on the Third Estate
of the France which mainly initialized and lead the French
revolution
3 There was a wide gap between the people of diffrent
Esttates due to uneven distribution of wages and decreased pace of
prices of commodities and low wages of lower estate

social and economic descions of the country
