Answer:

I would think that it would be the third estate because the second estate practically paid nothing because of their wealth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps! Please tell me if I am wrong! And if it isn't the third estate, then it's the second estate. The clergy only carried religious beliefs and the nobles only fight in wars.

Answer:

Your answer is A) The Third Estate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The tax system in pre-revolutionary France largely exempted the nobles and the clergy from taxes. The tax burden applied to peasants, wage-earners, and the professional and business classes, also known as the Third Estate.
