In France in the 1700's, the bourgeoisie were the nobility who got special priveledges that the middle and lower class didn't get. The bourgeoisie tried hard to keep all of their rights, and social status and wealth were very important to them. They were a cause of the French revolution because they didn't have to pay taxes, but the middle and lower classes had to. The middle and lower class decided to rebel against the bourgeoisie because they wanted the same rights. The Bourgeiosie (French nobility)
