In revolutionary France, the First Estate owned only 10 percent of the land. The First Estate was the clergy.
The term Fifth Estate is any class or group in society other than the clergy (First Estate), the nobility (Second Estate), the commoners (Third Estate), and the press (Fourth Estate). It has been used to describe trade unions, the poor and organized crime. It can also be used to describe media that sees itself in opposition to mainstream (Fourth Estate) media. The term is different in origins and meaning from 'Fifth Column,' used to describe subversive or insurgent elements in a society. It's origins probably comes from the French Estates-General. And for all you bloggers out there, Media researcher Stephen D. Cooper argues that bloggers are the Fifth Estate.

The estate system was division of three different groups. The first estate was made up of the clergy(Church). They made up 1% of the population and owned 10% of the land. They also taxed the peasants heavily to avoid paying taxes themselves. The second estate was made up of nobles and kings. They were about 4% of the population but owned 20% of the land. They lived rich lives and taxed peasants to avoid paying their taxes. The Third estate was everybody else. They were workers and farmers. some were rich but never went up to the 2nd or 1st estate. The third estate was taxed heavily making the poor poorer and this helped the rich stay rich.
