Each Estate had a single vote.
It was divided into three Estates each theoretically equal to each other. The First Estate was the Catholic clergy, the Second Estate and all others were in the Third Estate.
It was unfair for each estate to have one vote because the first and second estate would always out-vote the third estate, seeing they have more common interests. Moreover, the third estate encompassed 97% of the French population yet they only receive one vote in the Estate's General.

That question is impossible to answer as each priest has his own, distinct roles and responsibilities. That is like asking 'What is the daily regime of a teenager?'
The divisions in society were referred to as the Estates. The first Estate was the clergy members. The second Estate was the nobility. Then finally the third Estate was everyone else. The first two Estates made up 3% of the population. The Third Estate made up 97% of the population. However, each Estate got one third of the say, meaning that the 3% of the population could out rule anything the Third Estate said. The divisions in society basically gave the Third Estate no right in government and when they became fed up, they fought back; leading to the French Revolution.
The French Estates General was made up of three main groups. This first Parliament consisted of the First Estates of clergy, the Second Estate of nobility, and the Third Estate of commoners.
