Which estate paid most taxes in France before the revolution?
Correct Answer: A — Third Estate
In France before the revolution, the Third Estate paid almost all the taxes. This group included farmers, workers, and the middle class. Meanwhile, the nobles (Second Estate) and the clergy (First Estate) did not have to pay taxes. This was very unfair and made people angry.
