The prosperous members of the third estate also known as the new middle class benefited the most from the French Revolution. This section comprised teachers, doctors, lawyers, officers, traders etc. Initially, they were exploited by both clergy and nobles. They had to bear the load of taxes and were not given equal rights as the first and the second estate. But after the French Revolution they achieved freedom, equality, right to vote, political rights and equality to women was also given.

Among the three estates, members of the first and second estate were forced to relinquish their power. With the abolition of the feudal system of tax, they came on the same level with the middle class. They had to give up their privileges and their executive powers were also taken away. With the outcome of the French Revolution the first and second estate were highly disappointed because all of their privileges and power were taken away.
