They are the common people in the french revolution. They were the majorirt of the people. They were the ones that started the Tennis Court Oath
On June 20, 1789, the deputies of the Third Estate of France declared themselves the National Assembly, asserting their independence from the Estates-General. They took the Tennis Court Oath, pledging not to disband until they had given France a new constitution. This event marked the beginning of the French Revolution.
The Third Estate created the National Assembly during the French Revolution because they were excluded from decision-making in the Estates-General. The Tennis Court Oath was taken by members of the National Assembly to pledge to continue meeting until they had drafted a new constitution for France, asserting their commitment to reform and representing the will of the people.
Land owners of large Dutch estates were typically wealthy individuals or families who acquired land through inheritance, marriage, or purchase. They were often members of the nobility, wealthy merchants, or successful investors. These land owners held significant power and influence within Dutch society.
No, among the three estates the 1st and 2nd estates were considered way higher. Meaning that the 3rd estate was basically the base of the economy. They were the ones who had to pay taxes. Also, they supported the Enlightenment, whereas the 1st and 2nd did not. This would be because of the fact that the Enlightenment period WAS equality. Because of the inequality of the 3rd estate formed the National Assembly and then caused the Tennis Court Oath between the 3rd estate and Louis XVI. (This oath vowed never to separate until a written constitution was established for France.)
Let's ask a disinterested third party. Maybe the third party will be more fun, tonight.
The First Estates was the Clergy; the Second Estates was the Aristocrats; and the Third Estates was the poor.
The National Assembly was formed mostly by members of the third estate, while the Estates General consisted of the first, second, and third estates.

The trouble was the voting system. There were, of course, far more paople in the Third Estate, and it had far more delegates; but voting was not by head but by estates - so the other two could always outvote the Third.
There were 3 estates: the third estate was the bourgeoisie. They represented 97% of all inhabitants of France. There other two estates (the first and second) were the nobility and the clergy (the representatives of the church).
Only the third, the first and second were exempt!
