“The more power a government has, the more it can act arbitrarily according to the whims and desires of the elite, and the more

it will make war on others and murder its foreign and domestic subjects. The more constrained the power of governments, the more power is diffused, checked, and balanced, the less it will aggress on others and commit mass violence. At the extremes of power, totalitarian governments slaughter their people by the tens of millions. In contrast, many democracies can barely bring themselves to execute even serial murderers.”

7. One of the advantages of the First and Second Estates is that their members did not have to pay
Digiron [165]
Taxes.

The tax burden in France, prior to the French Revolution, fell on the shoulders of the 98% of the population that made up the Third Estate.   The First Estate consisted of the clergy, and the Second Estate was the nobility.  Those two estates overlapped in some ways, because high ranking church officials functioned as a form of aristocracy too.  And the two leading Estates colluded with one another to keep the system operating the way it was, with them having all the privileges and powers underneath the monarchy.
