States provincial (France)

In France under the ancien régime, a states (or estates) provincial (états provinciaux [eta pʁɔvɛ̃sjo]) or estates particular (états particuliers [eta paʁtikylje]) (to distinguish them from the Estates General; but see § États particuliers below) was an assembly of the three estates of a province, "regularly constituted, periodically convoked and possessing certain political and administrative functions, of which the main one was to vote on the impôt". Only the pays d'état had rights to such estates.
