If a question asks why the new middle class opposed feudal barriers, what would be the most suitable answer?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: They were obstacles to trade and civic equality
Feudal barriers included inherited privileges, restrictive dues, unequal legal arrangements and obstacles to the free movement of trade. The new middle class, especially merchants and professionals, wanted a more predictable market and equality before law. It therefore opposed feudal restrictions for both economic and civic reasons. A is correct; the other options wrongly describe feudal barriers as supportive of markets, equality or representative government.
