Why was the position of clergy and nobles secure?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: They had legal and social privileges
The First Estate (clergy) and the Second Estate (nobility) enjoyed privileges based on birth and status. They were exempt from many taxes and held high social rank, which made their position secure. The Third Estate bore the main tax burden, so option B is not the fundamental reason for their secure status. Exam tip: link privileges with tax exemptions and social prestige.
