Answer:  D. Members of the Third Estate were dissatisfied with social and economic inequality.

Context:

Prior to the French Revolution, the vast majority of the people (98% of the population), were all considered "the lower class" or "commoners," referred to as the 3rd Estate.  The clergy was classified as the 1st Estate.  (Placing God's servants first seemed the godly thing to do ... but many of the leading clergy were far from godly.)  Nobles were the 2nd Estate.  The 1st and 2nd Estates (ranking clergy and the nobility) tended to cooperate with each other to their own advantage over against the 3rd Estate.  The 1st and 2nd Estates were mostly tax exempt, with the 3rd Estate paying the fees and taxes that supported them and the monarchy.

Within the 3rd Estate, the bulk of the population lived in poverty as city laborers or rural peasants.  Bourgeois merchant-class folks were also part of the 3rd Estate and had much more economic advantage, but also were taxed heavily and slighted on political rights. Absolute monarchy and the dominance of the 1st and 2nd Estates blocked them from political power. So a revolution was ready to happen, because of the dissatisfaction that was growing within the 3rd Estate.

Why did some fugitives go to Canada instead of staying in northern states?
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Some fugitives went to Canada instead of staying in northern states because they risked being captured in northern states.

Explanation:

During the time of slavery in the southern United States, escaping slaves had to leave the southern states in order to guarantee (to some extent) their freedom. Even so, many times the owners crossed the Mason-Dixon Line and captured the fugitives, either in open places in front of anyone, or with the collusion of the authorities. Therefore, once the Underground Railroad (the organization that was in charge of helping the slaves to escape) was formed, many routes were directed directly to Canada, so as not to saturate the routes to the great northern cities such as New York, as to guarantee the safety of slaves in a country that had abolished slavery in 1807.
