In the 19th Century, Middle Class of any vocation had no Social Position in the society except for those serving in the forces. Bourgeois were the only one to value themselves.
As the time progressed, their increased population raised their impact on the society.
They were much cognizant to the equity done by the patricians. They were more concerned about the difficult circumstances of the poor and their own significance in the society. Regardless of what respectable exactly meant, they all were respectable excluding those who adopted an unconventional and disrespectful lifestyle.
