Under French Absolutism, the social structure was primarily divided into three estates. The First Estate comprised the clergy, holding significant influence and privileges; the Second Estate consisted of the nobility, who enjoyed wealth and power but were also burdened by certain obligations to the crown. The Third Estate, which made up the vast majority of the population, included peasants, urban workers, and the bourgeoisie, who faced heavy taxation and had limited rights. This hierarchical system contributed to social tensions that eventually led to the French Revolution.

Absolutism was only possible in Europe after the sovereigns were able to overcome the local vested power of nobles, through the use of national armies without local agglomeration. However, during the feudal period, English nobles (barons) forced the monarchy to guarantee their legal position with the Magna Carta. As a result, when the English monarchy would finally be militarily capable of asserting absolutism, it was effectively prevented from doing so because of the barons' power in Parliament. Conversely, French, Spanish, Prussian, Austrian, and Russian nobles did not have these protections and lost power as monarchs became more capable of consolidating their power under absolutism.

If your refering to Absolutism that is a little different.
The emergence of absolutism in France was primarily influenced by the centralized authority of the monarchy, particularly under Louis XIV, who famously declared, "L'état, c'est moi" (I am the state). The decline of feudal power and the consolidation of royal control over the nobility through strategies like the establishment of court life at Versailles also played a crucial role. Additionally, the need for a strong, unified response to internal and external challenges, such as religious conflicts and wars, further strengthened the monarchy's power and the absolutist state. This combination of political, social, and military factors solidified the foundations of absolutism in France.
