The French Revolution

France was known as the most advanced country in Europe. They were separated in different classes or also known as estates. During the french revolution most of the population came from the third estate. Some of the types of people that came from the third estates were merchants or even farmers people that the king didn't really pay mind to. The third estate had to pay the most tax out of all the estates , even though they didn't have a lot of money. This really got the third estate mad because the nobles ,clergy didn't have to pay anything. But without the farmers the while feudal system would break down because the farmers do a lot of work. In France the third estate would be considered most rich because that is were all the population of France is in , the third estate.
