The First Revolutionary and Anti-Revolutionary Ideology
Essay #1: Revolutionary and Anti-Revolutionary Ideology
The aim of this first paper is for you to read a group of primary sources and produce a piece of written work that demonstrates your understanding of those sources, and your analytical, explanatory, and writing abilities.
Sources
Jonathan Boucher, On Civil Liberty, Passive Obedience, and Nonresistance (1775)
Samuel Seabury, An Alarm to the Legislature of the Province in New-York (1775)
Thomas Paine, Common Sense (1776)
Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of Independence (1776)
Assignment
The colonial crisis of the eighteenth century led to significant debates, in Britain and America, over the nature of authority, and the meaning of terms like liberty and equality. Supporters and opponents of the American Revolution often had very different definitions and understandings of these concepts.
Using the Week 5 documents listed above, write a short essay analyzing the contrasting attitudes to authority and government, and the differing ideas about liberty and equality, among the supporters and opponents of the American Revolution. How did those who supported the Revolution understand the relationship between government and the people, and how did this differ from the ideas of those who opposed the Revolution? How did each group define liberty, and what did they think of the idea of natural equality?
In constructing your paper, remember that this is not simply an exercise in summarizing. While some summary of each author’s argument may be necessary, you should move beyond summary in order to compare and contrast the ideas of each author. Do not simply quote the documents, and do not simply repeat what they say; explain their arguments in your own words, and compare them with one another in order to explain how the key ideas of Revolutionary supporters and opponents differed.
