Answer 2

Answer:

middle class and their role in french revolution

Explanation:

The middle class people were the thinkers. They wanted change in France, and they were the people with ideas for what France should look like. More separation between Church and State, fairer taxation, a constitutional monarchy.

The middle-class people were the class that emerged as an educated as well as a rich society. Although they were against the privileges given to the higher class people like Nobles and Clergy.

They did not want absolute monarchy in the state of France and gave more preference to having equal rights along with a democratic government.

Thus, they were the ones who initiated mass campaigns and spread awareness among the lower-classes about their rights which ended up being the directions for this revolution.
