Source Question - Assess the value of the source for revealing the reasons for working class demands for reform in the years 1816–17 and the significance of the Hampden Clubs.

Section B - How accurate is it to say that poor leadership was the most significant reason for the failure of Chartism to achieve its aims by 1850?
or
How accurate is it to say that working-class militancy, in the years 1915–19, posed a genuine threat to the government?

Section C - ‘The Representation of the People Act of 1832 brought about the most significant change in parliamentary representation in the years c1815–1928.’ How far do you agree with this statement?
or
‘The introduction of the payment of MPs (1911) was the decisive turning point in changing the social makeup of the House of Commons in the years c1815–1928.’ How far do you agree with this statement?

tbh i think its sooo hard to predict bc theres so much, but america has come up three years in a row for the main essay so probably wont be again. i think the source could be india maybe, or if not india may be the other essay as its been a while since its came up. i also have a feeling canada and causes for the revolts could be likley, but its just a feeling. as for navy and trade, i have no clue lmao! what about you?

America has never come up for a source question before and India has only come up once so I feel like it might come up for the source but idk how it would

It's normally based on one factor and you have to argue whether that was the most important factor or not. They might do something like did trade fundamentally change during this period instead of an actual factor tho.

ooohh i see yeah that would be annoying! that section is definitely the area i struggle with most due to the large time period so a question like that would actually kill me
