Abbé Sieyes: What is the Third Estate?
Emmanuel Joseph Sieyes was a man who was born into the Third estate. He later became a priest of the bourgeois, which moved his ranking from the third estate to the second. ... He believe that the third estate was everything and that political order was nothing. ... Sieyes.
Sieyes believe the estates was a bad form because of the order of ranking of society. The estates were broken down into three parts which was First estate, Second estate, and Third estate. ... But the Third estate happens to be everyone else of the population which is about 98% of them. ... Sieyes is outraged on the estates system of ranking because its unfair to society. ... In this quotation, Sieyes is trying to show that since farmers are the ones who developed this nation from the ground up and devoted themselves to agricultural labour who are the main producers should be consider the First estate and not the clergy. ... This species of utility characterizes the third class. In this quotation Emmanuel Sieyes is saying that the second estate and third estate should be made up of those who make money and sell what the farmers have produced, the essentials in general. As for his third view of ranking he believes that; Outside of these three classes of productive and useful citizens, who are occupied with real objects of consumption and use, there is also need in a society of a series of efforts and pains, whose objects are directly useful or agreeable to the individual.
