During the reign of Louis XVI the french society was divided into three estates . The lowest section of the third estate comprised of small peasants , landless labourers and servants. They were uneducated. And taking advantage of their illiteracy's the king imposed heavy taxes on them as they would never understand the injustice and never dare to question the king. AND that's all!

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.
