the three estates
The Three Estates refer to the traditional social hierarchy in Europe, specifically in France prior to the French Revolution. This class system was divided into three orders or 'estates': the clergy (First Estate), the nobility (Second Estate), and common citizens (Third Estate). The first two estates ('privileged' estates) had certain rights and privileges, including exemption from certain taxes, that were not granted to the Third Estate. The inherent inequalities of this system were a major cause of the French Revolution.
