heigh ho, here we go again.
First Estate the Clergy - Bishops and Priests. between 5 and 10 percent of the population. Generally exempt from taxes, and entitled to collect a few taxes of their own.
second Estate, the Nobility, about 10 percent of the population. Exempt from certain taxes, and to a limited extent beneficiaries of taxes and privileges themselves.
Third Estate, everybody else. Over 80 percent of the population, paid all the taxes, no privileges at all.
Voting was by ESTATE, not by head. One Estate, one vote. So the first two (less than 20 percent) could always outvote the Third (80%).
democratic? I don't think so. Especially, come to think of it, as women had no vote, so we ought to halve those percentages!
