The French Revolution

In France there were three classes of people like a pyramid for diffrent classes. Most of the population was made up of the third party which was the regular people like the middle class and the lower class. Which was mostly the working class like the farmer,merchants,etc. The lower class didn't like the upper classes too much because they got most of the good things.

This was because of the fact that they had to pay no tax while the third class had to pay basically all of it.The farmers had to do a lot of the labor because they had to supplie the food.
The farmers are the ones that are actually carring France on there back because if they stop working France. They did not have enough to live yet the still had to pay taxes and feudal dues. The third estate represents the rich in France because the majority was third estate. The third estate would be most influenced by his words.
