4 Creating a new society American Revolution 1776 to Alpha History Distribution restrictions apply Question 3 Historian Charles Beard wrote of the United States Constitution and those who supported it: Every fundamental appeal in the Constitution is to some material and substantial interest. Sometimes it is to the people at large, in the name of protection against invading armies and European coalitions. Sometimes it is to the commercial classes, whose business is represented as prostrate [helpless] before the follies [errors] of the Confederation. Now it is to creditors, seeking relief against paper money and the assaults of the agrarians [farmers] But above all it is to the owners of personalty [personal property], to act as a foil against the attacks of leveling democracy The theories of government which men entertain start as emotional reactions to their property interests The structure of government as devised at Philadelphia reflects these several interests and makes improbable any danger to the minority from the majority. Charles Beard, An Economic Interpretation of the US Constitution, 1913 [adapted] a. Identify two groups whose interests were protected by the Constitution, according to the source. b. Identify two perceived threats to supporters of the Constitution, as suggested by the source. c.

6 6 Alpha History Distribution restrictions apply Creating a new society French Revolution August 1789 to 1795 Question 3 The historian Rodney Allen wrote the following about the state of the French Revolution in early 1792: On the right of the political spectrum in France were members of the former nobility who in 1789 may have equaled as much as 1.5 per cent of the total population of 27 million. By 1792 a considerable number had emigrated. For the most part they either wished for a return to the Ancien Régime, or for the establishment of a dictatorial monarchy which could maintain their privileges. A relatively small number of nobles accepted the Revolution, having played a crucial part in its earlier stages. Some of this aristocratic minority, together with certain bourgeois politicians and journalists, now sought a constitutional monarchy on variations of the British model. They desired enhanced power for the Executive which would place limits on populism, and safeguard property. Whether it would include a greater role for the aristocracy was more controversial. The effectiveness of this grouping was limited by lack of consensus on the details of a modified constitution, and the danger and reluctance of being considered counterrevolutionary. However the majority of the population, in so much as they were politically active, regarded the 1791 Constitution, which still reserved a limited paternal role for the king, as fulfilling its aspirations. [However] the radicals, whose power rested on activity rather than numbers, sought to take over the Revolution and advance it in the name of liberty and equality. To achieve this end, they aimed at eradicating what remained of the Ancien Régime: the king who still reigned, despite being labeled a tyrant, and the former nobles who still retained some influence and position. Rodney Allen, Threshold of Terror, 1999 a. Identify two political goals of the liberal aristocracy, according to the source. b. Identify two political goals of the radicals, according to the source. c. Using your own knowledge and the source, explain the structures and achievements of the national government in France between August 1789 and the end of marks d. Evaluate the usefulness of this source for understanding the national government to 1791 and attitudes to the Constitution of What other perspectives exist?

8 8 Alpha History Distribution restrictions apply Creating a new society Russian Revolution October 1917 to 1924 Question 3 Historian Evan Mawsdley wrote of problems confronting the Bolshevik regime in its first years of rule: Without doubt the Bolsheviks early promises were a basic reason why they were able to seize and consolidate power in : their programme of Soviet power, peace, land reform and workers control was widely popular. But those promises could not be kept. Economic life suffered greatly in the aftermath of the Revolution and the World War. Factories closed, towns starved. The Bolsheviks faced in 1918 a big challenge even within the working class. Urban conditions remained dreadful throughout the Civil War Nor were peasants, the great majority of the population, satisfied. Once the gentry s land had been taken away, there was nothing else to offer them Instead, the state had to take the peasants produce for the towns and their sons for the Red Army. It has been argued that Bolshevik agrarian and food-supply policies had a worse effect than did Civil War fighting, since it was the provinces in the Soviet rear that suffered the worst decline in farm production Nor were the Bolsheviks able to create the kind of mass democracy that they had promised in 1917 By December 1919 Lenin had seen that power had to come first, mass support second. Evan Mawdsley, The Russian Civil War, 1987, p.379. a. Identify two economic problems confronting the Bolsheviks, according to the source. b. Identify two reasons why Russian peasants were alienated by Bolshevik policies, according to the source. c.

10 10 Alpha History Distribution restrictions apply Creating a new society Chinese Revolution October 1949 to 1976 Question 3 The historian Mobo Gao wrote of the origins and nature of the Great Leap Forward: The ideology of collectivization, the enthusiasm for building a new socialist China and the impatience for speed and scale which finally led to the Great Leap Forward can be traced back to the mid 1950s The pressure for fast development had been building up for quite some time The Anti-Rightist Movement in 1957 paved the way for the radicalism of the Great Leap Forward because everyone was intimidated by the wide scale attack against intellectuals, and no one dared to criticize the impulsive policies of the Great Leap Forward. Ironically, most of the ideas of the Great Leap Forward did not come from Mao himself. According to one version of events, the idea of overtaking Britain in fifteen years in steel and iron production and other major industrial goods was inspired by Khrushchev s slogan of the Soviet Union overtaking the United States in fifteen years Liu Shaoqi, the man who had a reputation for being practical and cautious, went as far as saying in July 1958 that it would only take China two or three years to overtake Britain The term Leap Forward, which best indicated China s impatience with development, was actually an invention of a cautious man, none other than Zhou Enlai himself Driven by a frenzied desire and enthusiasm to transform a poor and backward China into a wealthy socialist nation, the Chinese leadership from top to bottom went out of their minds carrying out all kinds of experiments, the results of which sometimes even shocked themselves The degree of enthusiasm [for the Great Leap Forward] varied from province to province, but fanaticism was the rule of the day Mobo Gao, Gao Village: A Portrait of Life in Rural China, 1999, p.125 a. Identify two goals or objectives of the Great Leap Forward, according to the source. b. Identify two individuals who contributed to the development of the Great Leap Forward, according to the source. c. Using your own knowledge and the source, explain how the policy of the Great Leap Forward was intended to transform China into a wealthy socialist nation. 6 marks d. Evaluate the usefulness of this source for understanding both the causes and outcomes of the Great Leap Forward. What other perspectives might exist?
