Which groups of French society benefited from the revolution? Which groups were forced to relinquish power? Which sections of society would have been disappointed with the outcome of the revolution?

The revolution brought significant changes to French society, benefiting some groups while disappointing others:

1. Benefited Groups — The more prosperous and educated men of the Third Estate, which became known as the new middle class of France, benefited the most from the revolution. This group included big businessmen, petty officers, lawyers, teachers, doctors, and traders. Before the revolution, they had to pay state taxes and did not enjoy equal status. After the revolution, they got the status of active citizens with rights to vote and then become a member of the assembly.
2. Groups Forced to Relinquish Power — The clergy and the nobility were forced to give up their privileges due to the abolition of the feudal system of obligations and taxes. They were brought to the same level as the middle class and lost their executive powers and special privileges.
3. Disappointed Sections of Society — The poorer sections of society, such as small peasants, landless laborers, servants, and daily wage earners, would have been disappointed with the outcome of the revolution. Despite the promises of equality and better living conditions, many of these individuals saw little improvement in their circumstances.
   Women also would have been highly discontented with the revolution's outcome. Although the revolution initially raised hopes for greater gender equality, women continued to face significant social and political restrictions.
