  16.         I believe the French are also the reason some people refer to "upper"
  17. and "lower" houses of the legislature.  Their different sectors (landed nobles,
  18. appointed people, etc.) were actually seated in areas of differing height
  19. within the same building.
  20.  
  21.         And another thing, the "fourth estate" also harkens back to French
  22. political processes.

  24.         If ur interested in such things, a book on French politics (1750-post
  25. Napoleon) will be interesting reading for you.
