The Nobles.
The upper-crust of the THIRD ESTATE was extremely dissatisfied with Ancien Regime in Pre-Revolution France.
oh ballz yes. :)
the french society in the old regime was divided into three they were the ; *clergy as first estate *nobles as second estate *commoners as third estate
second estate
They did not. They disliked the Enlightenment ideas and wanted to go back to he Old Regime.
The Third Estate.
Each Estate had a single vote.
The nobles, Nobility is the proper term. They have the best jobs and taxes went to them. Hope this helped.(:
During the Old Regime, the first (clergy) and second (nobility) estates owned most of the land even though they represented 3% of the total population of France.
during the 18th century before the French Revolution
The third estate was treated unfairly under the old regime because they had to do all the labor, provide all the food, and were burdened with all the taxes of the French population. Also, when they complained of their oppression to the Estate's General (after Louis XVI called it back after 175 years) none of their suggested/ demanded reforms were passed, since they were outvoted by the first and second estates. The first and second estates were made up of the clergy and nobility, respectively, and they were happy with the way the government worked at the time, since they did not have to work or pay taxes. But they only made up about 3% of the population, and the third estate, the peasants, working class, and bourgeoisie (middle class) were 97% of France's population. Yet in the Estate's General, their influence was minimal since they only got one of three votes. Because of all this, the estate system contributed immensely to unrest in France, and later to the French Revolution
