French Estates System (!)
1st estate: Clergy, rich and influential, owned a lot of land and
did not pay any tax. ⛪
2nd estate: Nobility, owned land and had power in the army and
administration, also exempt from taxes. 🤺💣
3rd estate: Bourgeoisie (80% of the population), rich citizens to
poor farmers, taxes paid + few duties. 👨 🌾👩 ⚖️😠
