Under the Old Regime, the people of France belonged to one of three estates. What was the basis of these divisions? occupation wealth social class religion

The three Estates were the following: 1st - Clergy (People associated with the church which, by the way, controlled 10% of land and had the smallest membership of the estates) 2nd - Nobility (generally wealthy aristocrats who held some official titles) and 3rd - The Common People, comprised of people from both the middle class (Bourgeoisie aka bankers, merchants, etc.) and peasants. Occupation was clearly the main factor so, if I were to pick one, it would be that. At the same wealth clearly did affect how one might get a title that would put them in the nobility. A problem with the Estates system was that social classes were "crammed" into the 3rd Estate, so there was a very unequal representation within government.

The answer would be C) Social Class
