By the end of Social Movements, Representation & Accountability you should be able to:

- I can explain a historical claim using relevant evidence and acknowledge its limits.
4 questions, written answer, each with a worked explanation.
Vocabulary used: context, corroboration, interpretation, representation, accountability.
Problem 1
Answer and explanation
Sovereignty concerns a nation’s authority to govern itself; inclusion concerns access within an institution. A campaign may seek one or both, but they are distinct goals.
Problem 2
Answer and explanation
Earlier organizations and campaigns provide context, resources, and continuity. A famous event can accelerate a movement without creating it from nothing.
Problem 3
Answer and explanation
Specific conduct, records, legal standards, and institutional findings support a claim. Party membership alone does not establish individual responsibility.
Problem 4
Answer and explanation
No. It shows variation and competing priorities. Evaluate particular achievements and limits using evidence rather than demanding complete unity.
