The new middle class in Europe advocated the concept of liberalism emphasising the concept of freedom and equality for all.
But at the same time, this was not visible in the political experiment around Europe. The right to vote was exclusively with the propertied class, that too only men. ***** even with property rights were excluded from right to vote.
The Jacobins who stood for revolution for equality were also biased on this issue. They too granted right to vote to all ***** male population only.
Napoleon who stood to end privileges too reduced to the margin of the society with no political rights. For long did these and non-propertied male struggled to win political rights for themselves.
