Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The three estates had a fixed number of representatives for the assembly. The first estate had three hundred members as they were mostly clergy. The second estate also constituted the same number of members present in the assembly as the first estate,i.e., 300, as they belonged to wealthy minorities. On the contrary, the third estate comprised the most members present at the assembly,i.e., 600. The members were more in numbers because it included the majority of the society who were not wealthy. The first estate was provided with the front rows, the second estate was seated in the second row, and the members of the third estate were made to sit at the back of the hall.
Hence the correct statement is that the third estate had the highest number of representatives in the assembly.
