What percent of land did the first and second and 3rd estate own during the french revolution?
Since the Third Estate took up 97% and the Second Estate 2%, the First Estate would be about 1% of the population.
Why did the nobles expect each estate to have one vote?
Because the third estate was 90% of all citizens, so it would definitely win if the estates voted per person. The first and second estate were against, and the nobles knew that if they let each estate vote only once, they would get their way. It was 2 against 1.
What group wanted the Estates General to vote by head rather than by Estate?
The Third Estate, made up of about 98% of France's population, which included the bourgeoisie, peasants, and laborers. Vote by Estate meant that each Estate was entitled to one vote per Estate, so the First and Second Estates (made up of about 2% of France's population, the aristocracy and the clergy) could vote together and successfully vote against 98% of France. Voting by head meant that the Estates would vote based on population, meaning that the Third Estate would have much more votes than the First and Second Estates.

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.

In Canada there is a show called the Fifth Estate. I take that to mean the Fifth Estate is the electronic media . If that is the case it would be first estate Church, second estate Nobility, third estate Common people, fourth estate media (ie print media), fifth estate Electronic media. That would mean Royalty is above all estates.

Where did french second estate live?
Mostly in big stone houses. The Second Estate was the nobility. Important nobles would live in a château, less important one in a manoir or mesnil, some in simple farmhouses; it was not at all rare for a nobleman to be poor, as ALL the sons of a nobleman were noble, and estates would be repeatedly divided down the generations; but few of the poorer nobility would be elected as representatives of the Second Estate.
