It depends on which point in French history. France at different times has operated under a monarchy, Dictatorship, and democracy.

In 1789, the social structure was:

  • First was the priests very rich, powerful and influential
  • Second were kings/nobles very rich absolute monarch
  • The third group was divided into two: bourgeois's - merchants, doctor's, lawyers, etc. and common people, the poor, exploited, and suffering
