The third estate in pre-Revolutionary France was the commoners. This made up the majority of the French population. The first and second estate were the nobility and the clergy, who basically allowed the king whatever he wanted.
King Louis was bound to the Ancient Regime which had three Estates within the Estates General. The First Estate was the Catholic Clergy, the Second Estate was the Nobles and the Third Estate was everyone else.

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.
harsh with unfair taxes.
