The Third Estate in pre-revolutionary France comprised the majority of the population and included a diverse range of people: peasants, urban workers, and the bourgeoisie (middle class). This group was distinct from the First Estate (clergy) and the Second Estate (nobility). The Third Estate was pivotal in the French Revolution, as they sought greater representation and rights, ultimately leading to the establishment of the National Assembly and the questioning of the existing social order. Their grievances were a driving force behind the revolution's call for equality and reform.
