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

Why were the representative of the Third estate disappointed with the pattern of voting in the Estate General?

Representatives of the Third Estate were disappointed with the voting pattern in the Estates-General because each estate had only one vote, which meant that the privileged First and Second Estates could easily outvote the Third Estate, despite its larger population. This unfair system reinforced the existing social hierarchy and marginalized the interests of the common people. The Third Estate sought more equitable representation and voting procedures, which contributed to their eventual push for reform and the French Revolution.

Why were the representatives of the Third Estate disappointed with the pattern of voting in the Estate General?

The representatives of the Third Estate were disappointed with the pattern of voting in the Estates General because each estate was granted one vote, which meant that the combined votes of the privileged First and Second Estates (clergy and nobility) could easily outvote the Third Estate, despite it representing the vast majority of the population. This unequal voting structure reinforced their marginalization and lack of influence in decision-making processes. The Third Estate sought a more equitable system, such as voting by head, which would allow their larger numbers to hold more weight in legislative matters. This frustration ultimately contributed to their decision to break away and form the National Assembly.

What issue deadlocked the estates general from the start?

The Estates General was deadlocked from the start primarily due to disagreements over voting procedures. The Third Estate, representing the common people, demanded that votes be counted by head rather than by estate, which would give them more influence. In contrast, the First and Second Estates (the clergy and nobility) preferred voting by estate, which would maintain their power. This fundamental disagreement over representation and voting rights led to a stalemate that contributed to the eventual outbreak of the French Revolution.
