France's* And yes it did violate the Enlightenment principles of equality... There were three estates: First Estate: members of the clergy Second Estate: members of the aristocracy Third Estate: everyone else A huge example of the inequality was: taxes The First Estate: The Clergy (Catholic) made up about 0.5 percent of the population collected a tithe, or money from churchgoers (10% of the income of all French citizens) paid little in taxes ~Wealthy had access to the king and to positions of power (some second estate) ​ The Second Estate: The Aristocracy (nobles) had more power and privileges htan any other estate made up about 2% of population controlled most of the wealth (landowners) did not have to pay most taxes was not expected to take part in business or trade ​ The Third Estate: Peasants made up about 98% of the French population lived mostly in rural areas was generally poor peasant farmers paid the highest taxes had the lowest social status and the least amount of political power
