How were the demands of workers different from those of the liberal middle class in the revolutions of 1848?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Workers focused on jobs and living conditions while the middle class focused on constitution and rights
Workers faced unemployment, low wages, insecure employment, rising food prices and harsh living conditions, so their demands included work, relief and social protection. The liberal middle class primarily sought constitutional government, civil liberties, representative institutions and national unity. Although both groups opposed aspects of the old order, their priorities differed because they occupied different social and economic positions. Hence A is correct.
