The Bourgeois Revolution

The Bourgeois Revolution refers to historical conflicts, like the French and American Revolutions, where the middle class (bourgeoisie) challenged aristocratic and monarchical power to establish political systems favoring private property, commerce, and individual rights. These revolutions aimed to shift authority from traditional rulers to citizens and promote capitalism. They marked a move toward modern democracy and economic liberalism by reducing feudal privileges and increasing personal freedoms, laying the groundwork for modern nation-states and economic practices centered on free enterprise.
