How the population of France was divided into three estates?

The population of France was divided into three estates based on their social class. The First Estate consisted of the clergy, the Second Estate consisted of the nobility, and the Third Estate consisted of the commoners, including the bourgeoisie, peasants, and urban workers. This division was a significant aspect of the social structure in pre-revolutionary France and played a role in the tensions that led to the French Revolution.


In the french time who sat in the third estate who was responiable for the financial crisi in 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.
