Our Grievances Against the King
We are listing our grievances because we want the King to know what the Third Estate has suffered for many years. Our state has endured the hardships of famine and poverty for countless generations as well as the unjust discrimination that has been dealt to us by everyone. We want our King to hear us and change society. As of now, the King favors the First and Second Estates because they are richer and live a lifestyle not unlike the King's! We desire equality to the first two estates and demand that we, the Third Estate, are not burdened with everyone else's work, troubles, and debts! After all:
Where is our power as the majority of the people and the Third Estate?
Why must we pay all of the taxes of the French society when we grind our bones to a dust every day to try to survive? Where is the cut of taxes that the First and Second Estates must pay?
Why must our King Louis XVI still refuse to take action to help us and deny us our right to be equal to the First and Second States?
Let's explore further into this issue!
