## Step 1<br />The question is about the 3 estate system that was used in France. The 3 estate system was a social and political system that divided the population into three distinct groups: the First Estate (clergy), the Second Estate (nobility), and the Third Estate (commoners).<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The Third Estate was indeed the largest by population. This is because it comprised everyone who was not part of the clergy or the nobility.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />The First and Second Estates did have the most power. This is because they were the clergy and the nobility, who held significant positions in the church and the government.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />The Third Estate was taxed the most. This is because they were the largest group and they did not have the same privileges as the First and Second Estates.<br /><br />## Step 5<br />The system was not a Direct Democracy. In a Direct Democracy, all laws are created by a general vote of society. In the 3 estate system, the power was concentrated in the hands of the First and Second Estates, which is not a characteristic of a Direct Democracy.
