1600 France

1-5% of France's people were nobles which were people that were people that got their wealth through their family and the King. 5-10% of France’s People were Clergy priest’s and other religious leaders. Another 5-10% of people were called bourgeoisie which were the middle class. 75-85% were the masses which were basically the poor or peasants. Nobles and clergy didn’t have to pay taxes because of their rank.The life span of the nobles was 15-20 years longer than the masses. The masses or peasants rented their land from the nobles. For those who did pay taxes less money you have the more your taxes were, which is the opposite of what we are trying to do today. Every body didn’t take baths often. If you were the bourgeoisie or the masses you usually wouldn’t have a lot of money so for fun they would play soccer in the streets.
