Who were the men that were elected to represent the third estate at the estates general?
Usually people of decent status, such as lawyers or government officials.
How was the third estate treated unfairly?
The three estates had an equal vote in the Estates General, which gave the first estate (clergy) and the second estate (nobility) both equal presence with the third estate. This was problematic for two reasons. The first issue was that these votes were vastly out of proportion with the amount of people that they represented. The third estate was 97-98% of the French population, but had only 33% of the vote. The second issue was that the equal votes of the first and second estate served as an effective veto to oppose any changes or improvements which the third estate would request, effectively making the third estate unable to use the Estates General as a vehicle to benefit them in any way.
