  States-General - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The estates of Orleans in 1560, followed by those of Pontoise in 1561, and those of Blois in 1576 and 1588 were most remarkable for the wisdom, courage and efforts of the deputies, but on the whole were lacking in effect.
What the king required was to have the consent, the resolution of the three estates of the realm; it was in reality of little importance to him whether their resolutions expressed themselves in common or separately.
In the 16th century, however, the estates again claimed that their consent was necessary for the establishment of new taxation, and, on the whole, the facts seem to be in favour of this view at the time.

 Statute - LoveToKnow 1911
To make a statute the concurrence of the Crown and the three estates of the realm is necessary.
A public act binds all subjects of the realm, and need not be pleaded (except where the law from motives of policy specially provides for pleading certain acts, as in the defences of not guilty by statute, the Statute of Frauds and the Statute of Limitations).
The chief editions of the British statutes are the Statutes of the Realm printed by the king's printers, Ruff head's and the fine folio edition issued from 1810 to 1824 in pursuance of an address from the House of Commons to George III.

 Wills Estates
Estate is a term used in common law to signify the total of a person's property, entitlements and obligations.
The Second Estate is traditionally divided into ''"noblesse d'epee"'' ("nobility of the sword") and ''"noblesse de la robe"'' ("nobility of the gown"), the magisterial class that administered royal justice and civil government.
The notion of Estates of the realm also exists in Britain, where a close analogue to the French Second Estate would be the Lords Temporal.

 Estates of the realm - Information from Reference.com   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In several different regions of medieval Europe, and continuing in some countries down to the present day, the estates of the realm were broad divisions of society, usually distinguishing nobility, clergy, and commoners; this last group was, in some regions, further divided into burghers (also known as bourgeoisie) and peasants.
The Second Estate is traditionally divided into "noblesse d'épée" ("nobility of the sword") and "noblesse de robe" ("nobility of the robe"), the magisterial class that administered royal justice and civil government.
Under the ancien régime, the Second Estate were exempt from the corvée royale (forced labor on the roads) and from most other forms of taxation such as the gabelle (salt tax) and most important, the taille (the oldest form of direct taxation).
