The Third Estate represented 98 percent of the French population during the French Revolution. This group included commoners such as peasants, urban workers, and the bourgeoisie, who were frustrated by the privileges enjoyed by the First Estate (clergy) and the Second Estate (nobility). Their grievances and demands for political representation and social equality were central to the revolution's onset in 1789.
