When the Parliament met in 1789, the Third Estate was the most popular among the common people of France. Comprising the majority of the population, including peasants, urban workers, and the bourgeoisie, the Third Estate sought greater representation and rights in the face of the privileges held by the First (clergy) and Second (nobility) Estates. Their discontent and push for reform ultimately contributed to the outbreak of the French Revolution.
