English term or phrase: A peasantry permanently overtaxed
Very few people in Europe realized that a new epoch was beginning when the French Estates-General met at Versailles on May 5 1789. Unbalanced budgets and a bankrupt treasury, an army and navy incompetently led and irregularly paid, a peasantry permanently overtaxed (непосильное налоговое бремя, которое несет крестьянство? Я почему слово "крестьянство" стоит с неопределенным артиклем? Это ж ведь собирательное существительное) and suffering from the famine caused by a series of ruinous harvests formed the background to and the reason for the calling of an assembly that had not met since 1614. (A.L.Morton)
