Answer:

Hello There!!

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the answer:The reason the Third Estate paid all the taxes under the Bourbon monarchy in France is that the kingdom had an inefficient, outdated tax system.The tax burden therefore devolved to the peasants, wage-earners, and the professional and business classes, also known as the Third Estate.

hope this helps,have a great day!!
