ElenaW [278]2 years ago
6 0

Ancien regime or the old order was a social and political system of France prior to the revolution of France(1789). Under the old regime, the king of France was an absolute despot and had centralized power in the imperial administration. The political system of France was comprised of the 3 estates which served Clergy on the first stage, Nobility on the second and the Others on the third estate. Thus the old regime came to an end with the French revolution of 1789, when the revolutionaries abolished the hereditary Monarchy and the system of French nobility.

What is important to remember when grouping ideas into an outline?
Schach [20]
Things to remember when grouping ideas into an outline:

1. Have a theme or thesis that will guide the organization of your ideas.  If you try to include everything that might be said about a subject, your project will be too broad and might provide too much random information.  Find a focus -- a theme you want to show or a thesis you intend to defend and demonstrate.

2.  Have a coherent pattern in how you organize your ideas.  There could be more than one sort of pattern -- maybe a chronological flow, maybe biggest concepts first, followed by smaller supporting points.  But look for links between your points.  What will be the transitions from each point to the next as you write?

3. Keep your audience in mind.  Remember that you're presenting your work to others, and seek to include material and arrange material in ways that will reach the intended audience.  You wouldn't include a high amount of technical detail on military aircraft specifications, for instance, in writing a report for non-military people about how a particular battle was a turning point in a war.

What is the description of the person's early life for Nelson Mandela in a paragraph?
gregori [183]
Rolihlahla "Nelson" Mandela<span> was born on the 18th July 1918 in Qunu, South Africa. As the youngest son of a respected African chief, Rolihlahla was offered the opportunity to go to school. Here he was named "Nelson" by one of his teachers. Mandela eventually studied at both the University of Fort Hare and the University of Witwatersrand and qualified in law, setting up a law practice in Johannesburg with his friend Walter Sisulu. It was the injustices he dealt with on a daily basis that began to influence him.</span> Political Development - Role in the ANC

In 1943 Mandela joined the African National Congress (ANC) which appealed to the South African government for African rights and political changes. Mandela was part of a young group which brought a new sense of youthful optimism and pro-activism to the ANC.

In 1948 the government implemented apartheid. This was a legal system causing separation of people based on their racial classification, with subsequent oppression for non-whites. The government used police and armed forces to enforce apartheid and implemented increasingly stringent laws to outlaw any opposition. In response to this the ANC began a policy of passive resistance; encouraging boycotts, "stay at home" strikes, non violent civil disobedience and non co-operation with the everyday apartheid rules and regulations.

 Activism, Arrest and Imprisonment

As a highly educated lawyer with natural leadership abilities, Mandela was an influential figure within the ANC. During these years, Mandela was banned, arrested and detained numerous times and was tried for Treason in 1956 but later acquitted. As the government increasingly sought to suppress all anti apartheid movements the ANC was declared an illegal organisation in 1960. As a last resort, after the failure of peaceful resistance to challenge governnment oppression, Mandela founded Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK), Spear of the Nation. this was a new underground section of the ANC, which was preparing an armed struggle to use limited sabotage against the government with the aim of achieving policy change. After being arrested, using Mandela's vast legal knowledge, throughout the trial the accused stated their position as oppressed political activists, who were willing to use any means to help achieve an egalitarian South Africa. Mandela's final speech to the court stated:

"<span>I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."</span>
