Course summary

Are you interested in people and their motivation? Do you wonder how we reached the situation in which we find ourselves and what the alternative might have been? Do you enjoy seeing how things have changed? Allows you to explore the significance of events and individuals in history: • Builds on your ability to construct well-reasoned arguments about historical controversies • Provides opportunities for you to explore a historical issue of your own choosing and encourages you to develop a questioning attitude. This provides for the in-depth study of a key period of history which was to change the relationship between the ruler and the governed, not only in France but throughout Europe and, in time, the wider world. A study of France in revolution embraces concepts such as absolutism, enlightenment, constitutionalism, democracy, republic, and dictatorship. It also encourages consideration of issues such as the relationship between rulers and the ruled, the place of the Church in the State, the power of the people and promotes reflection on what makes and perpetuates revolution.
