--- Quote from: saraaburns on September 25, 2017, 09:57:44 pm ---I'm just wondering, for Section A questions 2 and 3 (the 10 markers) do we need to include historians in our responses?

I've heard mixed answers from my teachers, lecturers, and other students and I don't know whether to be safe and include them or save myself time memorising other pieces of evidence.

Thanks  :)

adding on to the last part of what K888, some people scored high 40s in revs at my school last year, so first year of this study design, and basically we've been taught that you don't need historians for Qs 2&3 but you can use them providing they don't override your primary quotes. the main thing seems to be not letting historians make your argument for you, or drown out your evidence (: but it's definitely possible to get all the marks without it! it's not like a C question where you need a historian for every point (:

Does anyone have some punchy Enlightenment quotes for American Revolution?

madic:
With America AOS2, would you count the key knowledge regarding 'economic development' as the actions of Robert Morris (e.g. organising loans from international banks and banning Congress' paper notes)?
Or the ability of Congress to tax under the Constitution (replacing their powers w/ the Articles of Confederation) and states being unable to coin money?

Is there more that I am forgetting?

I have very limited knowledge of the American revolution, so hopefully someone can answer specifically! But, from the principles of revs that I know, these seem fine. As long as you have something to write, and you think that you can back yourself up (particularly relating it to the consequences of revolution), then you're all good. :)
If you're stuck, Alpha History provide some pretty good info, and there might be something helpful in the notes section of AN.

Just a general reminder (to anyone reading) that AOS2 is all about the consequences of revolution - the challenges that were faced, etc. These are the key questions to ask for AOS2 (taken from the study design):
- How did the consequences of revolution shape the new order?
- How did the new regime consolidate its power?
- How did the revolution affect the experiences of those who lived through it?
- To what extent was society changed and revolutionary ideas achieved?

I think a big thing to focus on is how revolutionary ideologies are often compromised after the revolution due to the consequences of challenges.
If you can analyse the challenges the new regimes faced, and assess the success of the new regime in addressing the challenges and evaluate the extent to which there was wide-reaching/dramatic change (whether this be progress or decline), you'll be sweet. :)
