Why did the deputies of the 3rd estate (common people) grow upset with the deputies of the first (clergy) and second (nobles) estates?

Most of France's population was in the third estate yet they had the smallest amount of land. The thirds estate was also the poorest but they had to pay more taxes than the first and second estates.
