7. Are you serious?

The answer for either should be obvious.

Bill Clinton was an orphan in a rural area were the odds of his survival to adulthood would be very poor. He had no familial connections to get a trade and certainly no way to get into the petite bourgeoisie. He'd be an illiterate laborer, at best. He wouldn't have been given the choice to side with the aristocrats.

Hillary was born into the petite bourgeoisie or more likely trade. She also would have been illiterate, schooled only in the womanly virtues. If she had married up she still wouldn't have been an aristocratic on any level. However it's possible her husband could have been involved in serving the aristocracy in some way.
Which ever side Hillary's husband decided he was on would be the one Hillary would be on. She wouldn't get to choose.
