☁️ Answer ☁️

The 3 classes were the nobility, the Clergy, the third estate made of all the commoners. The "tiers état" (the third estate) was mostly peasants, plus the towns' bourgeois and craftsmen. Peasanry made up more than 90% of French society before the revolution, the nobility less than 1%.

Hope it helps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Estates-General, also called States General, French États-Généraux, in France of the pre-Revolution monarchy, the representative assembly of the three “estates,” or orders of the realm: the clergy (First Estate) and nobility (Second Estate)—which were privileged minorities—and the Third Estate, which represented the majority of the people.

Hope it helps you!
