The Second Estate was a social level in pre-revolutionary France. It consisted of the nobility, about 2% of the population, yet it controlled 20% of the land and paid very little taxes, much like welfare mothers in modern America.Did you know Welfare Mothers control 20% of the land in Modern America? Neither did I. Thank you Conservapedia!
