Brief Explanations
- Question 1: The Third Estate in France included commoners like peasants, urban workers, and the bourgeoisie. They made up the vast majority of the population (about 97%). The First Estate was the clergy and the Second Estate was the nobility, both much smaller in number.
- Question 2: The Third Estate faced heavy taxation, had no real political power in the Estates - General (where each estate had one vote, so the First and Second could out - vote the Third), and this lack of power to influence the government was a major cause of the French Revolution. Napoleon's dictatorship came after the Revolution. Louis XVI did not aid the revolutionary cause. Priests were in the First Estate, not the Second.
