How many votes did each estate have in the old regime?

Each Estate had a single vote.


Which estate had the most votes at meetings of the Estates-General?

The Third Estate had as many members as the other two put together; but it was decreed that each Estate had ONE vote. That was why the Third Estate declared itself to be the National Assembly, and that declaration (the Tennis Court Oath affirmed it) was the start of the Revolution.


Why did the third third estate object to each estate's having one vote in the estates-general?

It was unfair for each estate to have one vote because the first and second estate would always out-vote the third estate, seeing they have more common interests. Moreover, the third estate encompassed 97% of the French population yet they only receive one vote in the Estate's General.

Why were the representatives of the Third Estate disappointed with the pattern of voting in the Estate General?

The representatives of the Third Estate were disappointed with the pattern of voting in the Estates General because each estate was granted one vote, which meant that the combined votes of the privileged First and Second Estates (clergy and nobility) could easily outvote the Third Estate, despite it representing the vast majority of the population. This unequal voting structure reinforced their marginalization and lack of influence in decision-making processes. The Third Estate sought a more equitable system, such as voting by head, which would allow their larger numbers to hold more weight in legislative matters. This frustration ultimately contributed to their decision to break away and form the National Assembly.


What group wanted the Estates General to vote by head rather than by Estate?

The Third Estate, made up of about 98% of France's population, which included the bourgeoisie, peasants, and laborers. Vote by Estate meant that each Estate was entitled to one vote per Estate, so the First and Second Estates (made up of about 2% of France's population, the aristocracy and the clergy) could vote together and successfully vote against 98% of France. Voting by head meant that the Estates would vote based on population, meaning that the Third Estate would have much more votes than the First and Second Estates.
