Who did people vote on for the estates general?

In the Estates-General of 1789, people voted for representatives from three distinct estates: the First Estate (clergy), the Second Estate (nobility), and the Third Estate (commoners). Each estate had its own delegates, with the Third Estate representing the vast majority of the population. The voting process was marked by significant tensions, particularly as the Third Estate sought greater representation and eventually broke away to form the National Assembly, leading to pivotal changes in the French Revolution.
