The relationship of the three estates in France is that the whole population of France was put into one of the three estates. The first estate contained only 1% of the population, the second estate contained 3 % of the population, and the third contained 96% of the population.
The First Estate was the clergy, about 1% of the population. The Second Estate was the nobility, about 2% of the population. The Third Estate was everyone else, about 97% of the population. King Louis XIV, King Louis XVI, and Marie Antoinette drained the French Treasury. The French gave too much financial aid to the American Colonists in their fight for independence from England. King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette spent lavishly, thinking the Third Estate would foot the bill by paying higher taxes.
The Third Estate (le Tiers-État) made up the vast bulk, nearly 99% of France's population. Most of these people were peasants and day laborers. The two other estates were the Clergy and the Nobility.
First Estate: clergy Second Estate: nobility Third Estate: everybody else; bourgeoisie, proletariat, and peasants. They made up the vast majority of the French population, but were constantly trampled on and underrepresented.
