Revolutions unit test

A test on this unit alone, marked as a percentage and a letter grade — for the test your class is actually sitting, rather than for May. Answer everything, then submit once: seeing the answer to question 3 before attempting question 4 makes the final percentage meaningless.

Each paper is built from this unit’s 40 terms and is the same for everyone, so a teacher can assign “Unit 5, Paper 3” and every student sits the identical test. Multiple choice is marked objectively; the written sections you mark yourself against the model answer and rubric.

SHORT-ANSWER QUESTION. Read the description of the source. Source — Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, adopted by the French National Assembly, August 1789. The declaration states that men are born and remain free and equal in rights, that the purpose of political association is to preserve the natural rights of liberty, property, security and resistance to oppression, and that sovereignty resides essentially in the nation, so that no body or individual may exercise authority not derived from it. It provides that law is the expression of the general will, that all citizens are equally eligible for public office according to their abilities, and that no one may be accused or detained except as the law prescribes.

A. Briefly describe one Enlightenment idea reflected in the source.

B. Briefly explain how ideas like those in the source influenced one revolutionary movement outside Europe between 1750 and 1900.

C. Briefly explain one limitation on the application of these ideas between 1750 and 1900.
