- It was an unfair system that was broken into 3 parts. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd estates. The clergy, nobility and commoners. The commoners were the poor and they were 97% of the population. The nobility were the 2nd class and they were only 2% of the population. And lastly, the clergy were the first class and that was only 1% of the population. The Estates General was really unfair because they would raise higher taxes for the peasants and not for the to upper classes.
- We don't pay as much taxes as they do. That's not fair!
- It's too much! I wont have enough money to survive for myself! Please.. I just want justice
