The First Estate, consisting of the clergy, and the Second Estate, made up of the nobility, were exempt from paying taxes in many societies due to their privileged status and historical rights. This exemption was rooted in the feudal system, where these groups held significant power and influence, often providing protection and governance in exchange for tax relief. Their lack of taxation contributed to social and economic inequalities, ultimately fueling discontent among the Third Estate, which comprised the common people who bore the tax burden. This disparity played a significant role in the lead-up to events like the French Revolution.
