Enlightenment philosophers of course, were some of the first to speak out against the monarchy (ancien regime), and their boldness is thought to have inspired the lower classes. These ideas, along with the underlying resentment of the monarchy from peasants, is considered the birth of the revolutionary movement in France, and somewhat in America as well.
Now when it comes to the class system in France, if you are talking about the actual three legal estates, their were 2 wealthy classes, and one lower income class. But if you are talking about monetary classes, their was a middle class somewhat consisting of wealthy peasants bourgeoisie, and these families could almost be as wealthy as nobles. This group was made up of business owners, and lawyers. This class was grouped in the Peasant estate, and therefore taxed like peasants: heavily. The bourgeoisie were angry that they were grouped with this lowly group of people, and this, along with their wealth, caused them to be a major proponent of change.
