The French Revolution

In France there were three classes or estates. Most of the population was made up of the third estate. This include the framers, merchants and anyone that had no meaning or importance to the king. The third estate hated the nobles, Kings and the Clergy. This was because of the fact that they had to pay no tax while the third estate was taxed too much. A french peasant may be grumbled about the fact that France was ruled by a King and were over taxed. The farmer was carrying the Feudal lord and the clergy because if the farmer decided not to carry them anymore than the whole system will break down. The farmer is given too much work and if he chooses not to work then France would collapse. The conditions that the peasants had was way too harsh. They did not have enough to live yet the still had to pay taxes and feudal dues. The third estate represents the rich in France because the majority was third estate. The third estate would be most influenced by his words. They would want it to be banned so that there is no idea of a revolution in the third estate.
