The social order of pre-Revolutionary France was composed of three states: the 1st state was made up of clergymen, the 2nd state included all the nobility, and the 3rd state was formed by the rest of the population of France, including the peasantry, the bourgeoisie, and the city workers.
The experiences of the nobility and the bourgeoisie were very different during this period. The nobiity included around 1-2% of the population of the country. They were mostly exempt from taxes and for the most part, did not have a job. On the other hand, the bourgeoisie was a large percentage of the population, and carried a significant tax burden. This class was the most educated and wealthiest part of the 3rd State, and they resented the privileges of the nobles, in particular the tax exemptions. The conflict between these classes was a reason for the French Revolution.

Answer:
Francis Drake
Explanation:
Sir Francis Drake was ordered by Queen Elizabeth to decimate the supply of Peruvian gold to Spain.
The French-Indian was extremely costly. It left Britain with a huge debt. The British thought the colonists were to pay the debt because they were defending the colonies from the French. Britain also maintained a standing army in American colonies which was a huge financial stress. As a result, Great Britain taxed the colonies.
