Detailed Solution

Sixty per cent of the land was owned by the first two Estates and the more affluent people of the Third Estate in pre-revolutionary France.
French society was initially divided into three parts, known as the Three Estates. Only those who belonged to the third estate in eighteenth-century French society's three estates paid taxes. Most of the population, at 90%, was comprised of peasants. Only a few of them, though, actually owned the land they farmed. Nobles, the Church, and other wealthier third estate members held about 60 per cent of the land. The clergy and nobility, who made up the first two estates, were born with some privileges. The exemption from paying state taxes was the most significant of these. The nobles also benefited from feudal rights.
