If a student says the Third Estate was only poor what correction is needed?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It included the wealthy middle class along with poor peasants and workers
The Third Estate included everyone who belonged neither to the First Estate (clergy) nor to the Second Estate (nobility). It contained peasants, urban workers, small traders, and the prosperous bourgeois middle class, such as lawyers and doctors. Therefore, calling it only poor is an oversimplification. Nobles belonged to the Second Estate, while bishops and priests belonged to the First Estate. Exam tip: remember the three Estates by their social groups and privileges.
