The peasantry made up the bulk ofFrench society. The peasants were serfs. They
had to work certain days in the week for their lords without any remuneration. They could not marry or dispose of their lands without the lord’s permission. Lords claimed certain feudal dues such as the right to levy fees even for using ovens to bake bread, and a toll on sheep and cattle possessed by the peasants. It has been estimated that the peasant paid eighty percent of his earnings to various tax
collectors. Carlyle wrote that ‘one third of them had nothing but third-rate potatoes to eat for one-third of the year.’French society had three main divisions
or estates: Clergy (the priestly class), Nobility(the landed and aristocratic class), and therest, the commoners, formed the unprivilegedclass. The clergy and the nobility enjoyed special privileges and they were exempted from various taxes imposed by the monarchy. Out of the three divisions, only the third
estate bore the brunt of taxation, as other two estates were exempted from tax payment due to the special privileges. The important taxes were tithe, a tax exclusively collected by the church on the laity, Taille, a tax paid by thepeasants, gabelle salt tax, and tax on tobacco.

The summoning of the Estates-General became necessary because of the financial
problems faced by the government. The first two estates, namely, the clergy and nobility had sent 300 representatives each to the meeting held at the palace of Versailles, while the 600 delegates of the third estate, mainly the business people and educated members, were made to stand behind them. The question that was taken up at the Estates General was how they would vote. According to the norm each estate had one vote and Louis XVI wanted the same arrangement to
continue. However, the third estate wanted one vote for each member.When the representatives of the third estate were busy with the formation of the national assembly, the common people were suffering due to the high price of essential
commodities, even as the rich merchants started hoarding the grains. The agitated
women started storming into the market area. Seeing the unrest, the king ordered the army to move into the streets of Paris. Angered by this move, the people stormed the Bastille, the great prison of the city of Paris, and after destroying the fort released the prisoners on 14 July 1789.
