1. #106 Edmund Burke – Reflections on the Revolution in France

answer questions on page 109
1. The French rebels overthrew the monarchy by sneaking up behind their backs, also going to aristocratic
leaders homes and killing their families to show them that they are not going to back down to the
monarchy. The rebels attitude was an attitude of hatred toward people in power.
2. He say that each person should be created equal, one way or another we are all the same but also hints
that he’s not too thrilled about social equality.
3. The result is a corrupt nation trying to be run by rebels according to Burke, saying things like “France
has not sacrificed her virtue to her interest; but she has abandoned her interest”. He thinks they went
wrong when they killed off the king and queen.
4. Well I would think he would be more towards a parliament approach because that’s how his nation is
ran, so he will probably try to influence the French this way.
5. Burke says basically that the people should have some qualifications to become this power, not just
someone off the street to run certain parts of government he completely disagrees with representative
democracy.

2. # 117 Friedrich Engels - The Condition of the Working Class in England

answer questions on page 159
1. He does not approve of the urban life of the poor and how they are treated during this time, he describes
the horror that these poor people went through, did not believe a reform could happen. The only
solution was the overthrow of the capitalist system.
2. Engels said that this put the women and children through tremendous pain having to carry heavy loads
on their backs everyday such as carts loaded with coal.
3. He believes the family should function as a whole unit to work together and help each other with chores
and such. The working class, they work to hard so they don’t have enough energy left for the
household.
4. Engels blames the Parliament for these terrible conditions; they don’t anything for the people at all other
than run the country and make a lot of money. The Parliament make the working classes go through
tremendous pain to work in their factories.
5. Engels would like to see the overthrow of the capitalist system, while Chadwick would just like to see
an adjustment in the system not a complete and total change like Engels idea.

3. # 121 Karl Marx - Communist Manifesto

answer questions on page 177
1. That capitalism has taken over the world until him and his partner came along with this book they have.
The state of politics was based on communism and how it would work to help out the future and history.
2. That these communist leaders used to be a part of the working class before coming into power so they
would know the struggles the working class endures.
3. Their goal is to overthrow capitalism completely and go and control each part of the country from the
military to the economy as a whole. They will do this by first getting into power by persuading people
that they are for the people then just mess with government after that.
4. By freedom they want to overthrow the present bourgeois conditions of production, free trade,
free selling and buying. But if selling and buying disappears, free selling and buying disappears also, the
Communistic want to have an abolition of buying and selling.
5. The nation would become so overruled by communism that the leaders would want to keep their
government believes in their own country not known by the whole world so they want to keep low
profiles.
