Question

What role did the middle class play in bringing about social and economic changes in france ? explain.

Answer 1

The middle classes were the educated ones who first posed an intellectual challenge to the kings dominance. many were technically lower (or in some cases,quite important) members of the aristocracy, who sought to abolish the monarchy for their own ends. It was this class which created the national constituent assembly, a sort of parliament, which they said was elected and representative of the people. The NCA advocated fundamental human rights for the peasants, stirred them up into rebellion, and led them both during and after the revolution.
