Why were civil rights and economic freedom important together for the new middle class?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Both were linked with political participation and commercial growth
The new middle class sought civil rights so that it could participate in government, demand representation and enjoy equality before the law. It also depended on commerce, professions and industry, so it wanted fewer restrictions on markets and trade. These political and economic aims reinforced each other. Option A is correct; the remaining choices oppose trade, support feudal privilege or reject education, none of which reflects middle-class liberalism.
