During the early modern period in Europe, social hierarchy shifted from one based on birth and family lineage (society of orders) to one based on wealth and self merit (society of classes)

Identify 2 states where you see a clear transformation of the social orders. For each state, identify two factors (political, economic, social, etc.) that you think were most essential in causing this shift. Then (again, for each state), identify and discuss two consequences of this shift, in political, social,, or economic arenas.
