French Revolution: commoner

As a member of the Third Estate, I am treated unfairly. My taxes are high, and the other commoners and I are not adequately represented in government. Ourestate is made up of the majority of France's population, but we only get the same representation as the clergy and nobility, who are significantly smaller groups. Together, they get two votes in the Estates-General, while we are only allowed one, despite our large population.
