The Third Estate
It was the Third Estate against the nobles and the clergy.
The main population groups in France during the revolution were the clergy, nobility, and commoners. The clergy and nobility were part of the privileged classes known as the First and Second Estates, while the commoners made up the majority of the population and were known as the Third Estate. This division of society played a significant role in the social and political unrest that led to the French Revolution.
in an old feudal system called the "old regime". this system split the groups into three estates, or classes. The clergy of the catholic church made up the first one, nobles made up the second, and peasants were the third and lowest class. the lowest group contained the rich as well as the poor and only the last last estate i.e. the third one only paid the taxes and was highly discriminated from the other two estates.
The third estate, made up of peasants, artisans and workers, which was 97% of the population, were those who benefited from the French Revolution. In particular the Bourgeoisie, a section of the third estate who were relatively wealthy, such as bankers, lawyers, doctors and other similar professions, benefited the most from the French Revolution because the Revolution put them in power. The first and the second estates, meaning the clergy and nobility, were the groups that lost the most from the French Revolution. They would not recover their pre-Revolution position until the Congress of Vienna of 1815 reinstated the French monarchy.
The term Old Regime refers to French society before the French Revolution. Before the revolution, France followed the feudal system. Due to this, the society was divided into three estates or groups. The first estate consisted of the clergy while the second estate consisted of the nobles. Together these two estates made up the "privileged class". They made up only ten percent of the total French population. The remaining ninety percent was made up by the third estate. The third estate consisted of all the other members of society including doctors, lawyers, merchants, tradesmen, artisans, peasants, daily wage workers, maids, servants, etc.

The Third Estate in France, during the pre-revolutionary period, consisted primarily of commoners, which included a diverse range of groups such as peasants, urban workers, and the bourgeoisie (middle class). This estate made up the vast majority of the population but had little political power. They were burdened by heavy taxes and had limited rights compared to the privileged First (clergy) and Second (nobility) Estates. The discontent of the Third Estate ultimately fueled the French Revolution.
