Why did the educated middle class support the idea of national unity?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it wanted equal laws and a wider market
The governing concept is liberal nationalism and the economic-political interests of the educated middle class. Fragmented states often had different laws, taxes, currencies, and trade barriers. National unity promised common laws, freer movement, a larger integrated market, and stronger civic rights. Therefore option A is correct. Increasing fragmentation, feudal taxation, and ending civil rights would contradict the class’s liberal goals.
