How is the conflict between aristocratic and middle-class interests seen?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The aristocracy wanted to preserve privileges while the middle class wanted equal rights and free markets
The governing concept is the social tension between inherited privilege and liberal reform. Aristocrats benefited from status, land rights and advantages based on birth, so they often defended the old order. The middle class sought legal equality, civil rights, constitutional government and fewer commercial restrictions. Therefore A correctly contrasts their interests; B, C and D wrongly treat them as identical.
