France was basically bankrupt. King Louis XVI gave millions of dollars to the Americans in their fight for independence from England. Marie Antoinette spent money lavishly every day. King Louis XVI tried raising taxes on the Third Estate of France (the commoners )which was 97% of the population. The Third Estate revolted, broke away from the Estates General (the French legislature) and formed its own legislature, the National Assembly. After the storming of the Bastille, the National Assembly took control of the government and dramatically changed the tax structure of France.

The First Estate was the clergy, about 1% of the population. The Second Estate was the nobility, about 2% of the population. The Third Estate was everyone else, about 97% of the population. King Louis XIV, King Louis XVI, and Marie Antoinette drained the French Treasury. The French gave too much financial aid to the American Colonists in their fight for independence from England. King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette spent lavishly, thinking the Third Estate would foot the bill by paying higher taxes.
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 social contact this spoke about the social contract between the government and the representatives. it also gave the idea of one man one vote for which the third estate people fought with Louis 16 during the national assembly.
When Louis XVI had to convoke the Estates General, the third estate (the bourgeoisie) ordered to double their numbers in the Estates General, because the majority of France existed of Bourgeoisie. The others 2 estates (the nobility and the clergy) did not agree with this, but the King gave in to the third estate. When the Estates General met, they had on one occasion locked out the third estates members. The third estate members went to a nearby tennis court at Versailles and swore they would not dissemble until a constitution for France would be drawn up and accepted. Together with the storming of the Bastille (3 weeks later) this was significant for the beginning of the French Revolution.
The National Association of Realters (NAR) gave real estate its name.
