Answer:    The issue of choosing a caliph

Explanation:  The issue that divided Muslims shortly after Muhammad's death was who will succeed Muhammad, i.e. who will be the caliph. Sunni had the thought that anyone is capable enough and qualified can be religious leader - caliph, so it does not have to be from Muhammad's family. Shiite thought that the caliph could only be Muhammad's cousin, following the principle of royal inheritance.

<span>The issue that divided Shiite and Sunni Muslims was that Sunni wanted a caliph who was a pious community man, and simply a leader not a holy man. Shiites believe that the only true successors are blood-kin to Mohammad, and divinely inspired.</span>

In what ways was the third estate prevented from having power before the revolution?
Sonbull [250]
The third estate was made up of middle and lower class of the French population, making 98% of the total population. The other two estates were the Clergy (religious institutions) and the Nobility, the first and second estates respectively. Each group met and were able to vote and discuss the direction of the country. After the Seven Years War, the French economy was decimated and the third estate suffered reparations as the other two estates did not have to pay taxes and were granted certain privileges. Because of the two estates not being tasked with any burdens, the third estate was constantly outvoted and out-voiced by the other two, and this caused a strong desire for a political change from the current circumstances that made it difficult for the third estate to thrive and live.
