Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The bourgeoisie sought to change parliaments into instruments of political participation as part of their push for greater representation and political power. Parliaments were seen as institutions that could potentially reflect the interests of the middle class, and the bourgeoisie sought to use parliamentary power to limit the power of monarchies and aristocratic elites. While universities, independent judiciaries, and newspapers were important institutions in the development of civil society and the spread of Enlightenment ideas, they were not specifically targeted by the bourgeoisie as instruments of political participation.
