Explanation

The term 'Fourth Estate' refers to the press and news media. This concept originated from the three traditional estates of the realm in European society (clergy, nobility, and commoners), with the press being recognized as a fourth powerful force that can check and balance the other three. It is not related to backward states, the judiciary (which is one of the three branches of government), or tea estates.
