Mudsill theory is a sociological theory which proposes that there must be, and always has been, a lower class for the upper classes to rest upon. The inference being a mudsill, the lowest threshold that supports the foundation for a building.

With this in mind, any efforts for class or racial equality that ran counter to the theory, would inevitably run counter to civilization itself.
