Describe why france's system of taxation led to a revolt:

France had the Three Estates which consisted of Nobility, Royalty, and everyone else. The third estate that consisted of everyone else was heavily taxed as the Nobility and Royalty had very little to pay due to their status. The bourgeois were almost Nobility but still apart of the third estate so they encouraged the public to revolt so they wouldn't have to pay such high taxes when people in the same class as them barely pay taxes. Hope this helped!
