The article focuses on the relationship between class and citizenship in the context of changes in both concepts occurring in the process of (post)modernisation. It primarily deals with political participation as the key way of realising citizens' rights as developed by Marshall, taking the circumstances of the class inequalities of capitalist society into account. Political participation and citizenship styles developed on this basis are understood as ways of expressing group identities, including class identity. A general model of relationships among class, citizenship, citizenship rights, participation, identity and the modernisation process is presented and explained.
