social groups termed the middle class. They were both rich and educated. They earned
their wealth through expanding overseas trade and from the manufacture of goods such as
woollen and silk textiles that were either exported or bought by the richer members of
society. The educated members of this group, like the lawyers or administrative officials,
believed that no group in society should be privileged by birth. Rather, a person’s social
position must depend on his merit. These ideas envisaging a society based on freedom and
equal laws and opportunities for all were put forward by philosophers such as John Locke
and Jean Jacques Rousseau.
