Solution and Explanation


The term 'golden middle class' policy is not a standard, widely recognized term in history or political science. It seems to be a specific or possibly mistranslated phrase. However, it likely refers to policies aimed at favouring or developing the middle class. One historical figure who strongly pursued policies that benefited the middle class (bourgeoisie) was Louis Philippe of France, who reigned from 1830 to 1848.
Who and Why: \[\begin{array}{rl} \bullet & \text{Who: Louis Philippe, often called the "Bourgeois Monarch" or the "Citizen King."} \\ \bullet & \text{Why: His regime, known as the July Monarchy, came to power through the July Revolution of 1830, which was largely a middle-class revolt against the absolutist policies of King Charles X. To secure his rule and promote economic progress, Louis Philippe's policies were deliberately designed to support the interests of the wealthy middle class—the bankers, industrialists, and merchants.} \\ \bullet & \text{Policies: His government focused on industrialization, financial growth, and maintaining a political system where voting rights were restricted to property owners. This ensured that the middle class dominated political and economic life. The aim was to create a stable and prosperous France based on the leadership of this "golden middle class," rather than the old aristocracy or the radical working class.} \\ \end{array}\]
