∙ 13y agoThe only sort of parliament under the old régime in France was the rarely-assembled États-Généraux, or Estates general. This had three houses, called États - Estates. They were elected from:
Premier État (First Estate) - the clergy; priests, Bishops and Abbotts.
Second État (Second Estate) - the nobility
Tiers État (Third Estate) - everybody else.
Each Estate had one vote, so the common people almost never got their own way.
Our modern phrase 'Third World' comes from the French 'Le Tiers Monde' - the vast majority of the world's population, who have no real share in running the world.
