Liberalism became the main concern in europe after the french revolution because:-
-universal adult suffrage was not granted to people by the napoleonic code.Men without property and women were denied the right to vote.
-women were made subject to the authority of men.
-markets were not free as the 39 confederations of france had their own law which posed problems for the free movement of goods.
- there were no standard weights and measurements and no rates of custom duties which greatly affected the trade
- It stood for equality before the law.
- Revolutionary France marked the first political experiment in liberal democracy in which right to vote and get elected was granted exclusively to property-owning men.
- Men without property, and all women were excluded from political rights.
- Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, women and non-propertied men organised opposition movements demanding equal political rights.
In the early 19th century liberal nationalism stood for freedom for the individual and equality in a nation.
Politically, it emphasised the concept of government by consent.
For the middle class in Europe, liberalism stood for freedom of an individual and equality for all.
Economic liberalism demanded by teh middle class stood for freedom of markets and abolition of state restrictions on the movement of goods and capital.
