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.
How was the third estate treated unfairly?
The three estates had an equal vote in the Estates General, which gave the first estate (clergy) and the second estate (nobility) both equal presence with the third estate. This was problematic for two reasons. The first issue was that these votes were vastly out of proportion with the amount of people that they represented. The third estate was 97-98% of the French population, but had only 33% of the vote. The second issue was that the equal votes of the first and second estate served as an effective veto to oppose any changes or improvements which the third estate would request, effectively making the third estate unable to use the Estates General as a vehicle to benefit them in any way.
