The information presented in the infographic most strongly supports the conclusion that land in France was unevenly distributed in favor of the Clergy and nobility. This conclusion is backed by the data showing that the First and Second Estates, which comprised only 2% of the population, controlled 40% of the land, while the Third Estate, consisting of 98% of the population, owned only 60% of the land.
Study the infographic.
This chart has three sections. The first section describes each of the French estates. First: Clergy. Second: Nobles. Third: Commoners. The second section is a chart that shows percentage of population for each estate. First: 0.5%. Second: 1.5%. Third: 98%. The section has a note that reads: Almost all French people were in the Third Estate. The third section shows percentage of land ownership by estate. First: 10%. Second: 30%. Third: 60%. The section has a note that reads: Forty percent of the land belonged to the First and Second Estates.
