Answer 2

In the 18th century France, there emerged a new group called the Middle Class. Their main occupation was overseas trade and the production of goods like woolen and silk textiles. The goods manufactured by this class were often bought by a rich section of society. Moreover, some of them were lawyers or administrative officials. This group condemned the idea of privileges by birth and gave more value to the qualities of a person. The system of privileges as favored by the feudal community was against their concerns. They were inspired by the ideas of equality and freedom introduced by French and English social and political philosophers. These ideas got generalized among the masses as a result of concentrated discussion and debates in salons, coffee houses through magazines and newspapers. This is how they brought about social and economic changes in France.
