unrest between the upper middle class and the working class

- the upper middle class wanted to stop after the bourgeois monarchy (louis) - the working class was then mad because they were excluded from political power and WANTED A REPUBLIC

unrest between the two groups of bourgeoises

- the two parties had different opinions about the bourgeois monarchy and direction it should take - the party of movement wanted more - the party of resistance thought they had the perfect government - eventually the party of resistance won

Louis-Philippe

was called the BOURGEOIS MONARCHY because he had support from the UPPER MIDDLE CLASS
