Best Answer

The Bourgeois were the non-wealthy. Typically merchant class, investors, professions such as lawyers or doctors.

There was also a distinction of passive and active class based on taxes paid. Only active citizens could vote. They also formed the National Guard. Passive citizens were "inferior".

The Sans-culottes (those without pants) were the poor masses of Paris.

Then there was the plain peasant class that was about 90% of the population at the time.

Other than the active class, the privilaged few of France at the time included the royalty class of the House of Bourbon, followed by the noble houses with title, then the 'Ci-devant' nobility (from before).
