Two effects of the lack of representation of the Third Estate in the Estates-General:

Context/explanation:

Under the old, existing rules for the Estates-General, each Estate got one vote in the overall decisions of the Estates General.  The 1st Estate (clergy) would get 1 vote, the 2nd Estate (nobility) would get 1 vote, and the 3rd Estate (all others, commoners), would get 1 vote.  So even if the 3rd Estate were granted a greater number of overall delegates, in the end it wouldn't matter. The clergy and nobility would collude with one another to maintain their hold on power.  The members of the 3rd Estate, though they were 98% of the population, thus would get outvoted.

King Louis XVI was forced to convene the Estates-General in 1789 because his government was facing potential bankruptcy of finances.  In the build-up to the meeting of the Estates-General, the 3rd-Estate demanded that their representation be doubled.  That request was granted, with the king and nobles and clergy knowing that the system would still favor the first two Estates.  But the 3rd Estate delegates at the Estates General in 1789 demanded that voting be by head count of all delegates, rather than just one collective vote per house.  That way the 3rd Estate would have enough delegate votes to sway decisions.   That request was opposed by the king and the first two Estates.   So the 3rd Estate separated itself from the rest of the Estates-General and declared itself to be the National Assembly, because it represented the vast majority (98%) of the nation's people.  And thus the French Revolution began.

"a problem throughout latin america is widespread poverty. what can those countries improve? the higher the literacy rate" or "education, the lower the rate of poverty".

although the majority of the total population and the population   poor in latin america and the caribbean is in the centers   urban areas, in relative terms poverty remains a   rural phenomenon in the region. the incidence of poverty and   extreme poverty is much greater in rural areas than   in urban areas without going further, in 1997 more than half of the   rural households lived in poverty and about a third in   situation of extreme poverty. in addition, the difficult economic situation   of most of the countries in the region in the past   two years has surely deteriorated those figures. to the poor   of the rural areas of the region are raised at least   three basic problems: i); insufficient nutrition, poor health and   poor educational services; ii); scarce opportunities   productive employment in agriculture and non-agricultural activities;   and iii); low degree of organization to effectively promote   the rural interests. the number and variety of circumstances   that cause rural poverty, as well as heterogeneity   of conditions in which it occurs in different countries   and regions hinder the search for effective solutions and   efficient to raise the welfare of the rural population.  

the mechanisms to reduce poverty are   focuses on three types of important action possibilities and   complementary to generate or raise the income of the poor   of rural areas: one that is based on the growth of   agricultural sector; another that aims at sustainable use and conservation   of natural resources, and the last based on the importance   growing rural economic activities that   they develop outside the agricultural land. there are at least other   two possibilities for reducing rural poverty: the traditional migration to urban areas and assistance to   people who need income transfers to overcome   the poverty threshold or to have a minimum access to   social safety nets.
