Question

What was the request of the third estate at the estates general?

Answer 1

The 3rd Estate made the Cahiers de Doleances or better known as the Cahiers. (There is an accent on the e in Doleances) This was a list of grievance made by the 3rd Estate that asked: that the three estates should only follow the laws and be taxed with everyone approval, the estates general should meet on set times, when the three estates vote, it is by every person not by estate, the 3rd Estate doesn't want to be the only of the three estates to be taxed, freedom of speech and freedom of press. Those are a couple of the requests from the 3rd Estate.
