When one group or individual controls all three powers abuse of power arises, bringing a decline in the rights and liberties of the citizens.

Estates General was the common estate of three estates - First estate (clergy), Second estate (nobility) and Third estate ( commoners). Before the Estates General the three estates were rigidly divided and their interests were antagonistic to each other.

Estates General paved the way for national assembly and ultimately united France under one national identity.
