nobels

Explanation:

France's taxation system could not generate enough money to resolve the financial crisis. This was because taxes were based on class. The French population was divided into three classes, known as estates. The clergy comprised the First Estate and the nobility comprised the Second Estate. The middle class and peasantry, 98% of the population, belonged to the Third Estate. Although the clergy and nobility owned the most land, their privileged status allowed them to be exempt from taxes. Taxes collected from the Third Estate alone were not enough to solve the financial problem.
