Answer 1

Answer:

Land ownership was extremely unequal between the three estates of pre-revolutionary French society

Explanation:

The three estates in pre-revolutionary France were unequal in many aspects, and of those was the land ownership. The first estate was accounting for only 1% of the population, but it owned 10 times more land than what its numbers suggested. The second estate was accounting for 2% of the population, but it owned 12.5 times more land that what its number suggests. The third estate, which was accounting for 97% of the population, possessed only 65% of the land, which is much lower than what its population suggests. This made the French society very unequal economically, which understandably resulted in revolt by the third estate.
