Maza believes that the French Revolution was not brought about by a middle-class bourgeois revolution as Jones suggests. Maza shifts away from economic facts and instead looks at the literature to ask if there was a “middle class.” Using French writers that range from intellectual to the ordinary citizen, Maza
(Martin & Ruble, 2004) They also talk about how Kohlberg’s theory has not taken into account the reason for children to use gender as a construct, to sort out their view of the world.
