∙ 11y agoThere are three different classes in the Estates General of France. The first class was made up of the clergy, or church officials. The second estate was made up of the aristocrats, or the nobility of France. The third estate was made up of the bourgeoisie, mainly bankers and lawyers, and the peasants. The first estate was the wealthiest class as they were paid by Christians for church. They also had no need to pay taxes. The second estate lived in Versailles with the king and paid no taxes, but could not have a job and gain money. The third estate was the only class to pay taxes out of the three. They made up about 97.5% of the entire French population and about 25 million people were in the third class. The Estates General lasted until 1789 when the new National Assembly passed constitutions, causing all three estates to try to take power.

∙ 15y agoInsofar as France had a Parliament, it was the Etats-Généraux (Estates General). In the 18th Century, it was called only once - in 1789. The three Estates were the Clergy, the Nobility and the Third Estate (Tiers Etat). Against the votes of the first two (who were exempt from most taxes) the Third Estate were powerless. The King had not called the Estates for 150 years precisely because its meetings always ended in trouble. Incidentally, the term THIRD WORLD is originally French (Tiers Monde) and compares the poor nations of the world to the Third Estate.
