Answer:

The third estate

Step-by-step explanation:

The debt forced France King Louis VI to propose taxes on the third estate. The third estate was the middle-class people, who paid all the taxes, and had little rights in society. The laws and regulations, during the ancient regime, were much more checked toward the third estates. 80 per cent of France's population were from the third estate.

One of the taxes the third estate had to pay was Taille. Taille is a direct land tax for the peasantry to pay to the state. The middle-class people paid all the taxes so that the Empire could rule and protects its people.
