The system of estates in France was one of the reason that led to the French Revolution explain

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The French revolution was mainly caused due to the division in society and the negligence of the common people i.e the 3rd estate during this period.

During that time the society was divided into 3 estates.

1rst Estate: The 1rst estate consisted of the clergy (i.e the priests and the nuns and other members of the church).They were of utmost importance in the French society...They were exempted from paying taxes and were provided with all the luxuries they required in exchange of praying for the commoners.

2nd Estate: The 2nd estate consisted of the nobles.The nobles were those who were the relatives of the king himself. They too were given a lot of importance and was exempted from paying taxes as well.They were also again provided with lots of food and luxuries.

3rd Estate: The 3rd estate consisted of the common people, peasants and businessmen (middle and low class people). They were not given food and was starving most of the times..They also had to pay heavy taxes to fill the kings treasury which was empty as the King had used it all for battles and wars fought.

This was how the society in France was divided at that time and this is what mainly caused the French Revolution
