Read the following extract carefully
and answer the following questions: Ideas of national unity in
early-nineteenth-century Europe were closely allied to the ideology of
liberalism. The term ‘liberalism’ derives from the Latin root liber, meaning
free. For the new middle classes liberalism stood for freedom for the
individual and equality of all before the law. Politically, it emphasised the
concept of government by consent. Since the French Revolution, liberalism had
stood for the end of autocracy and clerical privileges, a constitution and
representative government through parliament. Nineteenth-century liberals
also stressed the inviolability of private property. Yet,
equality before the law did not necessarily stand for universal suffrage. You
will recall that in revolutionary
France, which marked the first political experiment in liberal democracy, the
right to vote and to get elected
was granted exclusively to property-owning
men. |
