The inequality  between estates led to discontent. 😠

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. 👨 🌾👩 ⚖️😠

What determined which estate you were in?

The third estate

Causes: Failed harvests and high taxes caused discontent.

Effect: The bourgeoisie demanded the same power and privileges as the people of the 1st and 2nd estates.😠
