Sieyes- Bourgeois Disdain for Special Privleges of the Aristocracy

Bourgeois Disdain for the Special Privileges of the Aristocracy
Three Questions
-What is the Third Estate? Everything
-What has it been until now in the polictical order? Nothing
-What does it want to be? Something
First and second estate look down on the third and prevent them from holding any power
Government in France was created to help those who govern rather than the governed
The higher post are taken by incompetent people, but the lower are taken by the hard workers
-this hurts the nation as a whole
"Like having a strong man, but chaining up his arms"
-Third Estate is the arms
-First and Second are the chains
The nobility is a burden and a foreigner
What is a nation?
-A body of Associates living under common laws and represented by the same legislative
assembly
FRANCE NEEDS TO GET RID OF THE NOBILITY
