Well...

First Estate: Church Officails

Second Estate: Nobles

Third Estate: Everyone else (From peasants to even wealthy merchants)

Each got one vote in the government

You need to reference more info to exactly get the right answer but since taxs were such a problem i will answer the question to that.....

Basically the 1st estate paid no taxes and the 2nd estate 2% if they paid at all while the 3rd estate with the church paid over 50%....The first 2 estates voted to keep it that way and always won because they always had 2 out of 3
