Social inequality was a prominent feature in the old French government before the revolution. It almost operated like a caste system, yet not quite. There was three estates: the first, second and third. Clergymen and royalty belonged to the first estate, aristocrats to the second estate and peasantry, artisans, merchants etc. to the third estate. The first and second estates were exempt from the taille, the French land tax. There were also many other taxes the first two estates were exempt from where the third had to pay, such as group taxes. The French people were willing to give up their political rights in order to gain social equality, that is why "Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite" was the slogan during the revolution. 

Sorry, that was more than 2-3 sentences haha.
