1)A)People were so critical against Nobility(The second Estate), because they were rich and didn't need to pay taxes. They can also hold position such as being officers in the army. They almost had complete power in peasants and did not have to do military service. Nobles lived in palaces and luxury chateaux.B)Through the local officials and ministers they ruled absolutely everything. (Also known as ruling all of France and the parliament=states General).
C)The Clergy is the first estate which covers 100,000 people in France. They are very much related to the Nobles. Which means the rules are the same. Like the hold positions in officers, they don't need to pay taxes, complete power in peasants. But they are part of the Church.
2)The Male peasent didnt have enoufh land, money, had to pay wheat, chickens, oats, and pence. Plus heavy taxes from the king. The woman peasent didnt like that so she gets grumbled.
3)This Picture and caption is representing a peasent carrying a federal lord plus the Clergy. Which means hes gotta pay taxes and do rules due to what the clergy and the federal lord say. The caption many talks about the peasent wants hope that this suffering will end and become free of rules.
4)The female gets angry due to the statues of the male peasent. He barly has money and needs to pay federal lord and clergy many things.
