Генеральные штаты во Франции, высшее сословно-представительское учреждение в 1302-1789 гг., имевшее характер совещательного органа. Генеральные штаты созывались королем в критические моменты французской истории и должны были обеспечить королевской воле поддержку общества. В своем классическом виде французские Генеральные штаты состояли из трех палат: представителей дворянства, духовенства и третьего, податного сословия. Каждое сословие заседало в Генеральных штатах отдельно и выносило особое мнение по обсуждаемому вопросу. Чаще всего Генеральные штаты утверждали решения о сборе налогов.
