Description
This chart presents the distribution of population, land ownership, and government taxation among the Three Estates in prerevolutionary France. It reveals the stark imbalance where the Third Estate, representing commoners, makes up 98% of the population and bears the full burden of taxation despite owning only 65% of the land. The First Estate (clergy) and Second Estate (nobility) hold significant land but contribute minimally to taxes. This piece offers a clear visualization of social inequity, making it a thoughtful addition to any educational or historical space.
