Which system, characterized by legal classes and inherited privilege, did the French Revolution principally abolish?

💡 Explanation:

The Ancien Régime (Old Regime) was the socio-political system in France before the revolution. It was defined by an absolute monarchy, a rigid social hierarchy based on legal classes (the Three Estates: Clergy, Nobility, and the Third Estate), and a feudal system of privilege and exemption, particularly from taxes, which the revolution fundamentally overthrew.
