Final answer:

The old social order in France highlighted social inequities between different estates, leading to grievances among the commoners and contributing to the French Revolution.


Explanation:

The old social order in France demonstrated social inequities through the division of society into three unequal estates: the clergy, nobility, and commoners (Third Estate). The inequalities stemmed from the privileged positions held by the clergy and nobility, unlike the commoners who faced heavy taxation and limited representation in the Estates-General.

Answer:

A: economic

B: social

C: political

Explanation:

  1. Economic: Unequal tax burden between the estates--> Before the French Revolution, taxes were unequal between the estates. The first and second estates, made up of clergymen and nobles, paid basically no taxes. They made 3% of the population yet owned around 30% of the land. Commoners, who were 97% of the population, paid majority of taxes and received no benefits.
  2. Social: The division of French citizens into three estates-->The French population was divided into 3 estates before the revolution: the first, second, and third estates. The first estate were the clergy who ran the Catholic Church. The second estate were nobility and members of the royal family. The third estate were the rest and majority of the population (middle class, peasants, workers, craftsmen)
  3. Political: Unequal representation of the third estate in the Estates-General--> The government during this time had a general assembly called the Estates-General that represented the three estates. Each estate had one vote. Although the third estate had the largest population, they were often outvoted by the first and second estates, leading to unequal representation.
