There are three main interpretive perspectives that concern the French Revolution. These perspectives are the three estates of France. The first estate and second estate were comprised of the upper class - the nobility and clergy. The third estate was comprised of artisans, peasants, and the working class. As with all feudal systems, the upper classes did not have to pay taxes and had all the advantages, while the hardest working, and yet poorer, folks were left in even tighter straits because of their richer counterparts. Eventually this would lead to bitterness and constraint, which in turn would emerge into full revolt and rebellion.
