France was a feudal country with three estates or classes. The First Estate: Clergy, The Second Estate: Nobles and The Third Estate: Commoners.
The First Estate: Clergy and The Second Estate: nobles numbering only about 2% of the population, they owned most of the land in France. They held most of the government posts, but they did not have to pay taxes or serve in the army. The Third Estate: Commoners like middle class and peasants numbering more than 95% of the population, they paid heavy taxes, had to serve in the army, did all kinds of labouring work, but had no rights or say in the government.
This social inequality makes the middle class people such as lawyers, doctors, bankers, teachers, trader who were educated most discontented. It was an important factor that led to the French Revolution.
In Hong Kong Government Structure, it is fair in any way. Every people would have his power in this government. And how much value they give to the government they can receive the same value of the power. But although a person has a large power in this government, he also needs to follow The Basic Law in Hong Kong as same as the other Hong Kong people.
In Hong Kong, there are seven estates. The First Estate: The Base Law, The Second Estate: The Chief Executive, The Third Estate: Executive Council, The Fourth Estate: The Administration, The Fifth Estate: The Legislative Council, The Sixth Estate: District Council, The Seventh Estate: The Judiciary.
Every population in Hong Kong needs to pay the same percentage of taxes. So that it would not appear the social inequality in Hong Kong.
The three estates like Hong Kong society, they also need to give taxes, need to serve for the government but they was unfair. In the three estates, the third estate needs to hard to work for their life but the first and second estates could get a preferential treatment. They were just opposing with the third estate. They can enjoy their life without to do anything. Compare with these, Hong Kong society is just opposing with the three estates. Every population needs to work for their life and the society. They can receive the power they should have. It would not be more or less. Although he is the Chief Executive in Hong Kong, the power he receive would not be more than that he should receive.

Thanks for the facts, Peggy; though, I disagree with your assertion that Hong Kong society is fair; you yourself say that there are numerous classes. 5
