Did France's system of estates violate the principle of equality?
Yes, it did, because the groups/estates were separated, and not treated equally. The people in the lower estates were not allowed the same jobs, privileges, etc. In fact, high-paying jobs were reserved for the nobility. This led the people in the lower estates to become poor, and not able to afford basic necessities such as food.
