Liberalism : Derived from Latin word Liber means free. It meant differently to different people.
Middle class : It stood for freedom of individual and equality of all before law.
Politically : It emphasized government by consent. There was to be an end to autocracy and clerical privileges. The right to vote was meant to be only for property owning men. The lower classes were therefore not included. In general, it stood for inviolability of private property and freedom of the markets from state imposed restrictions on the movement of goods.
