The Third Estate took up 97% of the population in France and is made of three classes. The first group is the bourgeoisie whom are bankers, factory owners, merchants, professionals, and skilled artisans. They were rich like the nobles in the Second Estate but didn't have their privileges. The workers in France are the second group of the Third Estate and were the most poor. They were frequently out of work and went hungry. The last group were the peasants. They formed 80% of the population.
